You can't beat the price. I made the trip all the way from South Florida to get each of them done and he even provided me with a loaner car while I was there at no extra cost. Did the entire job in just one day.

Thank You guys. Once I figure out what I going to use to get my cars to the track, I will give him a call. I went the used rollback route a few seasons ago, and now have found myself the only non-tow guy around with a tow truck....have learned a lot and the hodges bed would allow me to never, ever have to wonder if a hydraulic line is going to let go, and make a 3-5 gallon mess in my driveway....Rollbacks have there other uses(dock height, material hauling), but for racing, they are not always a good choice.

I decided not to have a hodges bed put on my 360 powered 50K 93 D350 3 years ago when I purchased my 70 Challenger....and keep it as a 14ft stakebody with 1600lb liftgate instead(the ultimate parts moving truck)....

and opted for a 96 f450 powerstroke rollback with a 19ft kilar aluminum bed with a wheellift instead. Expensive to maintain, real fun to drive, but my lord does it inspire drivers to cut me off! I thought towing an enclosed trailer brought out the worst in drivers, try the light/medium duty loaded rollback.....

Tow truck drivers have it tough, have earned my lifelong respect.

Thanks
