Ideal ramp truck old and new!

[mloboda]

Here's my 1976 Dodge D800 Hauler. It's Paul Rossi's old hauler.
413ci 5speed with 2 speed rear. Air brakes. 93,000 original miles.
This truck runs and drives like new ! Box is long enough hold two cars- 70 AMX and 72 Duster.
The bad news- gas mileage is 4.5mpg if I try to push it (65-68 mph) 5.5mpg at 55 mph.

Whoa that things a beauty-a man after my own heart!! They do suck fuel though-The 1973 Gianino/Oleynik enclosed truck I had last year did get about 7, but it was much smaller-they all need a diesel conversion!

Both are beautiful rigs, I think with the towing restriction being bestowed upon us, We might gravitate toward air brakes with 5 ton capacity. Most motor-home are overpowered and under brake capacity.

Someone that races up here converted a old Winnebago into a race car hauler. You`d never know there`s a car in the back of that thing. Oh yeah,he runs a Triumph TR-7,so it`s not big enough for a "normal" race car inside.

A TR7 Convertible ?
Out of California ?

Nope,hard top. He built that himself too. With a 440 Mopar in it,he runs mid 10`s at Bandimere.

Damm, and I thought we were the only ones stupid enough to build a 90 inch 440 TR7

I know a guy in Cali with an 11 sec sb convertible was looking for a rust free car to build a chassis car with and he saw ours online during its build and wanted to buy it since the chassis was done and it was a rustfree starter when we got it...but couldnt come up with enough money....

The winnebeago Idea rocks with that car....Its short enough I thought about screwing with my dad and having a couple buddies turn it on it side and put it in my office....it was about 2 inches too tall to make it through the door....Why I thought that would be funny I dont know....it just...well its a SHORT car....I had to adjust my 4 link to make 90 inches
