Does not have to be a new truck...looking at a nice '78 model Chevrolet atm.

Used to tow with a crew cab hauler, They look Way-kool and serves it's purpose, however to invest that kind of $$$$ in a truck that only will see use for weekend race-car transport IMHO doesn't make much sense?

A newer pick-up, enclosed trailer or a better built Aluminum open trailer is probably a better investment, and still be able to use the P/U during the week when not towing.

Here in New England those older 1-ton car haulers are somewhat a target for State, local & DMV police. Once a car is loaded on the bed, it's technically overweight.

Those "Hodges Haulers" are the "Cadillac" of haulers!
IMO they still look KOOL!
