I know where this Chrysler special built hauler is at and is for sale, but...........needs a lot of TLC cause its been sitting in a field for years.

Original owner Arlen Vanke, then Jeg Coughlin, then my parents, now down the road at a local company owner.

BTW, it now has a 454 w turbo 400 in it, but didn't cut any Chrysler mounts out of it when install the Chevrolet in it.

When you say it needs TLC, is it an Ohi rust bucket ? Or is it missing/broken....glass etc from those damm field vandal squirrels ?

And any idea how much ?

I just lost the bid on a 1966 D500 Crew cab out in Az., I have a '99 5.9 Quad cab with a burned out dash and only 77k and thought I'd swap it out but got sniped at 30 sec.'s; but the problem is how do you transport on of these even if you do find one? They are definitely bigger than a bread box!

You get it running in the field....dont tell me its the set of brake lines you changed in the grass with crickets chirping and mosquitos biting with a flashlight :)

Thats the "fun" stuff take something and fix it on the spot to at least drive it outta there.....

Shoulda seen me and my buddy driving a pink caddy back from TX with surfboards on top to Ohio....average was 3 times per state being pulled over......seriously.

Stopped every 100 miles to fill up on oil and tranny fluid....good to go....

Haul it ? Hell drive it....:) Grab a few buddies and make a week long "adventure" out of it....hell you can always scrap it for enough cash to buy you all plane tickets home, god knows it weighs enough....

Then again, my buddy tried it with some 61-5 Ford mostrosity out of California when Gas was 3+ a gallon....it got 5mpg.....

Re: Ideal ramp truck old and new!
 

That's what my plans were but I'm talking about the ones sitting out in a field needing full resto.

Right now there is a 2007 Ram 3500 Mega Cab Car hauler for sale on ebay and it's sweet but expensive.......ID 12051578831......take a look.

Jim,

Get a hold of some farmers or farm equipment dealers in your area. Those fellows are always moving heavy and big stuff long distances, or maybe even construction firms. They might be slow this time of year and want something to do. Many have flatbeds and lowboys.

Here's a few photos of a super sano ramp truck that was purchased by a friend of my as part of a race car/transporter deal. It is a 1976 vehicle that looks and hopefully runs like new. I hope the pictures upload ok.
