Best truck, motorhome and trailer pictures
 
How about the best truck trailer combination, ramp truck, box truck, any type of combination of truck trailer you've had in the past to now. I know that nobody can beat drag racing ingenuity for transporting cars to the race track. I can remember Chuck Rayburn going across America in his blue Ford diesel pick up and open trailer in his Champinship year, Toby Lang in his Ramp truck with his trailer on the back, all great set-up. The Armstrong Brothers always had great haulers an MCI Bus and a GMC Astro tractor with living quarters and box.

The craziest thing I ever saw was in Division 7...at Pomona in 2006...a guy had converted a U-Haul truck into a car hauler. It had a small lounge with a hoist mounted on the back and an orange stocker on the bottom and an orange SS car on top...both stick cars I think...Cudas I believe....Incredible....I have a picture somewhere....

That'd be Tom Watts.

Interesting photo.
It almost looks like a 4 post lift welded to that truck frame.
Slick setup.
My concern would be the car up on top moving around during transport.

I wonder if anyone has ever made one of those school bus conversions look cool ?

Circa 1974, this is what I built to take my Nova to E-town and NY National. It was a old 1956 2-ton Coca-Cola truck I bought from the bottler in Bethlehem, PA and had Grubb Brothers Automotive in Hellertown weld the center section of an old car hauler to it. I moved to Florida about 2 years later and installed a 396/360 in it to replace the terrible 6 that kept eating distributors at an alarming rate. Shoulda kept it, but it was tough finding a place I could park! Can't keep 'em all!:D
