Re: Tow Truck/Rollback/Hauler Pics
www.hodgescustomhaulers.com ...I'm sure many were professionally built at other truck upfitter shops. You'll notice many in this thread are built the same. Hodges have evolved into a lower flatter deck. They are primarily used for used car transport by used car wholesalers and dealers.

Re: Tow Truck/Rollback/Hauler Pics
I learned something there... is there a way of telling, like a nameplate or some way to identify one of these hauler beds ?

Re: Tow Truck/Rollback/Hauler Pics
Not sure about that,Coop.I imagine maybe a bigger shop might have an ID tag.

Re: Tow Truck/Rollback/Hauler Pics
does hodges "mark" there haulers now ? if so I would think they would have done it back then too. the bed I just pulled off of my 72 C30 was made by American trailers, it had a big ID tag right on the back of it.

Re: Tow Truck/Rollback/Hauler Pics
Thanks guys. Petie, sorry man but that's not a job I want to do again.
 I had to change out all of the wheel studs on mine to fit the new wheels. I know some guys just bolt them up but they must have longer studs than I did or they are running with very few threads holding their wheels on.  Your truck looks like mine did when I found it. I ended up being pretty lucky with mine, hope you are too.
