I Googled! Man,if you Google early race car haulers you will find quite a few,but if you click next to some of the pictures it will take you where the picture was posted. I ended up on this site with a 37 page thread on old race hauler pics! GM,Ford,Dodge...bigtime/smalltime racers. It was yellowbullet.com (They sure have a stupid motto...you'll see)
http://www.yellowbullet.com/forum/sh...aulers&page=37

Also,most pictures in Google will take you to a thread on Jalopy Journal.

If that thing pulled up behind me I would think it was going to steal my soul then my car.

One of the best looking big trucks I've ever seen.

Re: Tow Truck/Rollback/Hauler Pics

That black C/40 is fantastic! That music cracked me up...how fitting?...NOT! I dunno about the visor,though,unless you're a serious humpback. Style is cool when it's functional but I like to see where I'm going.

Tanman,I dig that rig!

I'll take this black dovetail over that slammed rollback any day. It's plenty low enough for me. I like a truck like these to "look" like it can haul.

Nice looking truck.

I once saw a Tow Truck, towing a Tow Truck, towing a car.

Re: Tow Truck/Rollback/Hauler Pics

Mike Burkhart was about 200 lbs overweight and hired drivers to run his cars. I knew him in the late 70s when he owned Auxillary Gas Tanks (a 4X4 shop) on the North side of Dallas/Farmers Branch where I spent alot of summer job money. I remember a black hauler parked at the shop and my boss at Dallas West Four Wheel Drive had a 67 or 8 crew cab hauler with a road race Corvette on it. Burkharts last driver was paralized in a 1/4 mile crash and worked behind a desk in the show room. Brought back alot of memories, thanks for the pics.

Re: Tow Truck/Rollback/Hauler Pics

Farmall,thank you for sharing that little piece of history. I tell you,I get a great feeling seeing anything from the 60s-early 70s. I think that is something that adds to me love of these trucks...they were smack dab in the middle of the greatest era. But,boy,drag racing (and really all motorsports) hit a pinnacle at this time,just before it went so big time and homogenized that I really don't care for it any more (except small time local action).
