Are you saying that he carries two cars on that truck? Lifts the one and puts the other under it? Wow...I would like to see a picture with it loaded. Does anyone have a good photo of Armstrongs truck? I heard it is very well layed out.

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 ?

How about this one I saw in Denver last week (not at the races).

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!

Lew, did that old truck have those goofy really skinny 18" wheels and tires?Being an original 6 cyl. truck, I would imagine it was sporting some pretty steep rear end gearing too!

Rory,

If I remember right it had something like 19.5 one-piece rims and used the same tires the U-haul vans used. It had a 6-something (mountain gear) one speed rear axle, which was fun with the big-block, but ran out of rpm's rather quickly! 56 MPH all-out
