I would love to know what happened to all of those haulers. SOMEONE still has to have one around.

Here is my Dads Truck, its now retired as a tow rig but he still has it. If i had the time and a place to do the job I would love to put the drivetrain from my 92 cummins beater truck into it. Its a 1980 with a 360 with 77K original miles IIRC

I saw that rig at Indy about 1964---it drew a crowd. Can you imagine what that would look like going down the highway at night if it had the inside lights on? A one truck car show!

Petty had a blue crew cab hauler sort of like that. But, knowing Petty---it is still back on the farm someplace. About ten years ago, behind Maurice's shop on the farm, there were several old tow trucks/trailers parked on a gravel pad. They looked like they were all in good driveable condition.

I like the old heavy truck pics

There are a lot of old dodge grain trucks around here. I have considered picking one up for a future project, but man I think I have enough of those

.
I know of one I could likely get for free with a 318

I often get feedback that this pic looks pretty old school

What a great thread. It may sound corny, but these rigs are unbelievably cool and a unique piece of Mopar racing history.
I was told that Sox & Martin and Dick Landy brokered these rigs for Chrysler. Note Sox & Martin sticker on the rear corner of McEwen's truck.
Can anyone confirm that?

Stewart, Please chime in.

I'm not sure about the earlier rigs but I was told by Scott Koffel that his father, Dave Koffel sr. handed out 7 or 8 of the 1975 car haulers to the factory backed super stock racers when he was director of the drag race program for Chrysler.
To his recollection, the haulers went to Leal, Hagen, Rossi, Lilly, Landy to name a few.
I think by that time in history, Sox and Martin had closed up shop for the most part.

Wow Bigdad does that ever bring back memories. I lived (and still do) about a half mile from Yowell Transportation when I was a kid. Bobby started racing Mustangs. Never had much desire to hang out there then but when he switched to Mopars I used to ride my bike up there all the time just to see what was going on. I saw Bill Stepp's stuff there, Arlen Vanke, Sox and Martin and others. KilKare used to have a ton of booked in Pro Stock shows and I guess their trucking firm was the best meeting place. Lucky for me!

Back in about 89-90 when I was about 8 years old my dad owned a 1968 crewcab dodge with a 20-22 box truck. It was orange with a white box. I didnt like it at the time, but I saw it a few years back at Monster Mopar Weekend in STL, MO and the person we sold it to restored it. It looked awesome. To bad we didnt have the time or money to do it like he did

. It would have been neat to have towing a 68 hemi dart around..maybe someone will post that truck

This is a fun thread.

I can remember when I was in high school it was a big deal to have a "race only" car that you towed on the ground to the races. It was even a bigger deal if you had a open trailer.

Soon the ramp trucks where what the factory guys had followed by bigger ramp trucks, then the enclosed trucks then fifth wheels then the semi's they have now.

Its funny how the race car hauling equipment that so many members have far exceeds what many factory race team used to use.

Today in my travels, I found a truck like this
71 c-500

Truck only, no box on it or anything .Ran when parked 2-3 years ago ..Looks like its in decent shape

Suppose you could recreate one..anyone got the ambition to do it ?

I love this thread.......these are some pretty cool haulers. Here is what my dad towed with when I was a kid. Its not as vintage as these others but I'm a young guy so its vintage to me. Its a '84 Ram 1 ton crew cab short bed. He's had it since 1985 and always towed his racecars with it. I will see if I can dig up some old pics of it with one of his cars behind it. I just took these pics today. He's been talking about restoring it and getting it out of the weather. I hope he does. Its just sitting behind the camper dealership ruining right now!

Here's a couple shots of my old 76 crewcab.Had a 383 out of a Roadrunner in it.Wanted to install a 440 fuellie,but with gas $$$$.

I landed up selling it & now it's got a fifth wheel in it tugging around horses(the four legged ones).It sure was a cool ol truck tho.Got attention everywhere I took it.

Well, here is the $50.00 1 ton dually I found here very close to my home. I am heading out this monday to get more pics. I am buying for $50.00 and Rhino is coming up this was after MATS to pick it up. No bed, but I guess the posibilities are there.

I think I amnow hooked but would like either a for door or a COE diesel hauler.

The buy it now was $6500.00 so, I assume thats what it went for

He emailed me pics but it was already sold then

IMO those old trucks have a value not unlike the race cars of the era going forward

They disapear at a higher rate than a race car it looks like to me

I spent many warm summer afternoons in a boat "like" that in my 20's .. had a 150 black max it would boogie

Re: Post pics of vintage race haulers ,Mopars ,Then or - 10/18/08 04:18 AM

I had a hot 460 Ford motor in the boat. It would get up and move. Had to have a 30' ski rope because of the wake behind it. My buddies used to call it the "James Bond" boat. I remember an old hick saying "That setup is slicker than owl snot."

That jackleg must be my neighbor in his old neighborhood. Even though I live in an unincorporated section of our county with absolutely no noise ordinances, everytime I fire up a car for more than ten minutes (which is why I moved out here) the cops show up, rolling their eyes, " hey man, your neighbor called and....wow, can I check out the cars!!??" They usually end up drinking a soda and talking cars for a while, making a big show for Mr Sunshine.

Hey BigDad !! I know where there is (at least up to last year, anyway) a 1956 Dodge cabover free for the taking in a field in Jackboro. A co-worker purchased some land and this thing was on it. It's an old oilfield truck, its problem being its location (off the paved road) and the rear is locked up. I have a photo around here someplace. Do you want me check into it? I'd be glad to pitch in and help....RICK

Rod shop hauler

Bud & Dewey Cook purchased this from Bortman to haul their SS/BA 65 in the late 70's. The Rod Shop logo was removed but the Dodge part left. Had the long back seat mounted long ways behind the driver so you rode sidways. It made my eyes cross and back hurt.

Re: Post pics of vintage race haulers ,Mopars ,Then or now - 12/31/08 03:13 AM

Or... there's the "anti-Tommy" approach...not a Mopar but an interesting photo of the classic low-buck, mismatched-tire style trailer.

Don't know what's scarier, the trailer or the car!

Have current (since 1980's) and one previous (late 1970's) owner's contact info, haven't contacted them about researching the history because I don't want them getting any ideas...PM me if interested, it'll need some work but it's there!

Cool part is the truck was orange orig paint. I should be able to un fire truck it fairly easily!

I had a line on a period correct steel/wood floor roll back/wheel lift but lost track of it.I may have to build a body

Anyone got a spare grille?

That D800 fire truck is going to be a great starting point for your ramp truck. I know
a shame to cut up or scrap the bed assembly
but such a very low milage truck with new
equipment. Good luck with it.

Thanks guys the bed is missing all of the pumper parts anyway. I bought the truck last spring and didn't get to it last summer. Other than driving it as is to cruise night!

That does look like a nice truck. I guess the reserve will determine if its a deal or not. Don't ask my how I know but towing is hard on the exhaust valve/seat on 360s, something to check out.

A fine, fine use of the family station wagon. In between groceries, trips to the beach, trips to see grandma and grandpa, always be sure to allot time for towing the dragster to the strip!

I used to work for John Wolfe Racing here in the Cleveland,Ohio....He owned a export company for american car parts to be sent to U.K. , Germany , Norway, all over Europe.

Very nice, reasonably priced 72 Dodge 800 on ebay.
Looks like a nice platform to base a hauler on.

It does look nice although some gearing changes might be in order:

Fantanni ?

Albert Fontanini was a good friend of my dads. He and Reno Nanini from Chicago campaigned a Fuel F/C very successfully on a national level.
His career was tragically ended when going to a race, they were stopped at a toll booth in Indiana, a truck driver fell asleep at the wheel, and ran into the back of their hauler. With the fuel on board, it exploded killing Albert and a mechanic instantly.
Reno Nanini still travels with his son who runs a super-comp rail.

Hello
My name is James Kirby, not the funny car racer, from Missouri. I have a question, in a post possibly of your you mention your father was a friend of the Fontanini & Nanini Racing team. I wondered if you might have any pictures, stories, articles from them, during there funnycar years. I am a collector of there stuff. I actually own there 1968 Stinger Charger Funnycar, and collect anything I can find on it. The photos from webshots are mine, so anything there, I have. I do have contact with Alberts 3 cousins, and received all they had, I have spoken to Reno and Vince, several times also. I have sent both familes copies of everything I could find, I also have three national magazines featuring the car. Let me know if you have anything, thanks. I'd be happy to send you anything for your dad, if he's with us.

This picture was taken at Fall Fling 2000 in Van Nuys, CA. Wonder if it was a big name racer's back in the day??

I don't see many posted here with the rounded "T-top"

About 7 or 8 years ago, my buddy and I traded a guy a powerwagon for a jeep. We went to his house above LA (I can't remember the city) and that truck was sitting in the backyard. He said it belonged to famous drag racer back in the day. I can't remember who he said but I do remember that it was big name. I think he said "The Mongoose" but not 100%.

This truck was bought at auction from Columbia
Gas. Frame lengthened, new driveshafts and carrier bearing and bed all done in a garage by Dave Mosley and Rich Headrick. Lots of storage, water tank and pump. 318!!! two speed axle. Went to Gainesvile/Bradenton in76. Englishtown, Indy, Columbus, and local. Put a lot of miles, used as much oil as qas!!

Like to see the back section of that first pre restoration picture. The picture of the white one I have DOES NOT HAVE square side railing. But the restored and original on is side railing and square.

It could have been modified over the years.

Both are white...

Thanks Bigdad and a special thanks to all those of long ago who thought to catch pictures of the transporters back then. Without doubt, ramp trucks were probably a huge step in innovation from station wagons, tow bars, and utility trailers. Keep em coming!!

Does anyone have a photo of Pat O'Riley�s hauler, he used to live in Aurora CO but has moved to Gore, OK. A shot of his car is attached. I it looked to have one of the classic Oleynik bodies but a later model Dodge chassis then �back in the day�.

He was at the November Mopar Race in Tulsa.

OMG, is that a truck that certain S&M employees said was not a S&M truck, as they NEVER had a door on the driver side of the truck. Whoops.

Re: Post pics of vintage race haulers ,Mopars ,Then or now - 11/22/09 02:05 PM

Just a curious quetion....Herb McCandless shared a little story with me years ago. He told me of problem they had headed to Indy one time. He said the truck lost oil pressure near Indy on an interstate highway. They pulled over quickly and started diagnosing the problem. Long story cut short, the problem was the pickup tube had broken off at the block. They walked accross some fields to a shopping complex and bought pipe nipples, elbows, and some screen. They plumbed the pickup using this pipe and the screen for a strainer. Put pan back on and completed the trip. Herb said as far as he knew, the pipe and screen were still in the engine when the truck was sold years later. Anybody find this in their truck????!!!

Re: Post pics of vintage race haulers ,Mopars ,Then or now - 12/05/09 03:16 PM

Yes Bigdad, my truck was on eBay for the second time. I bought it a couple years ago from Bill Hancock at Arrow Racing with the intention of restoring it to Rod Shop colors and using it to haul my personal cars. My eyes were bigger than my stomach. After a couple thousand dollars and a couple hundred hours of cleanup to get it running, it's been fun. But like so many of you, I just don't have the time or the funds to do it justice. It's going to an enthusiast in TN who knows its history and is very excited. SSFA Tim will have the new owners info and will be the grail keeper of these great trucks. Think before you speak next time.

No, no, no Tim. I apologize, my comment was directed at Bigdad, though perhaps unfairly. Bigdad blasted me on another post because he thought I was merely "flipping" the truck. I just wanted to make it clear I'm one of you guys. Tim, I think you should be the information source for these trucks, as you have learned a lot about these vehicles by owning one. Sort of the StewartP of Medium Duty. Bigdad, sorry for spouting off. Thank you for this thread, I've loved it since it started. Peace.

Here's my 1985 D350 Ramptruck I purchased this summer .It was on the back lot of a local dealer , at first I thought it was a cash for clunkers trade in but was actually for sale . They were asking $4000.00 for it but they discovered the brakes were bad on it so they let me have it for $2500.00 !
Turns out it just had a bad line that was rubbed through 'cause it was too close to the spring at the rear ...
49.000 miles , 360 4 spd and rare for Ohio -zero rust !

Although I am a Chevy guy I have a strong Chrysler influence through my buddy torredcuda & he was the one who suggested I take a look at this thread. I just purchased a vintage hauler myself. Once I finish the body work on the Monza, the hauler will be next & I hope to get an idea or two from all the great shots.

This one looks a little odd ?

I bought that truck from Ray Christian, the famous super stock racer and tranny builder in 1992. Ray bought it from the original owner and builder, and his name is Eddie Smith of West Virginia Hemis fame. I sold it to a used car dealer and who owns it now is unknown. I hauled my Danger Brothers Racing Team 63 aluminum nosed Dodge and my ss/aa Cuda on the truck. The faster the truck went , the better it handled. It has a warmed over 360/2bbl.

Very cool pics ..

Yes; especially when you see cars and/or wagons serving as the tow vehicles. Heck, even flat bed trailers were showboat in those days (not many people could afford a trailer). Alot of race cars (as you know) were simply towed behind with a tow bar, white shoe polish scribed on the rear window "Race Car In-Tow"

Remember the stickers you could get back then that said that ..

How about those "tow hubs" you could bolt on to pull it home

People I knew put brackets on the cars to complete the "tow bar" look to act like it was a race car

Hey all !! I just took ownership of a D700 race car hauler .I've known about it for a long time (20 years) but never knew the history until the past couple of weeks of phone calls and emails .
So the story goes , it started life in 71 as a Sox & Martin hauler . Reid Whisnant bought his 71 Duster from S&M and the hauler .It was repainted in Reids colors and stayed thirds colors for a couple owners . Walt Ballard then took it over with Reids Duster ran the car under the name Yankee Jo .When he was done with it , it was sold to Ron Hubble . Ron sold it to Richard Clark ( Colonial Beach racetrack). It then was repainted and received a fresh factory crate engine (413). It was then passed on to two more owners , and as of yesterday it's mine !!!!! I'll post some pics as soon as I figure out how to do it !

There are pics of it in this thread from back in the day when Reid had it

I think it's great that these trucks are being found and restored to their original S&M appearance.I have the 1977 S&M hauler that was built for Don Carlton.Don picked up the truck from Lou on a friday to go to Milan to test.Unfortunatly Don lost his life testing the following day on Saturday.The truck went back to the builder and sat for a short time untill it was purchased by Martin Industries.I will call my good friend Al aka HEMI-ITIS to post some pictures for I amnot that good with these contraptions.

I use to see those old slope-front top fuel trailers at the Summer Nationals in Englishtown in the 70's, so I built a 16' one in '99 for Kevin's junior dragster. Pulled it with a 4-cyl Ranger. Under 2000 lbs loaded, low (torsion bar axle), aerodynamic and towed like a dream.

My '68 D300...former dealership tow truck since '68, 440 Holmes deck but the boom and dolleys were gone when I got it. Set up now for 5th wheel trailer towing, fresh torquer 440, newer NP435, rebuilt D70 w/powr-lok and new Spicer 3.73 gears, fabricated 4-into-1 heaaders, 2-1/2" dual exhaust, etc etc, should be fun and decent towing after it's completed, MY best guess this Summer! We'll see?!

HEMIs! Get your HEMIs here! The folks over at B&B Race Cars in Hohenwald, Tennessee are as busy as ever, with a shop full of race cars on the jig and several more awaiting their turn on the operating table of owner Darren Breaud and his staff. B&B is well know for being one of the premier chassis shops in the country for Stock and Super Stock rides, and as such, it�s no surprise that they�ve seen an endless supply of the popular Mopar Drag Pak Dodge Challengers roll through the door. In a scene that would make virtually any die hard Mopar fanatic drool down his Sox & Martin T-shirt � a delivery truck arrived at the B&B shop carrying three of the Drag Pak�s ready to receive the full treatment. These three are in addition to four others that are already in the shop, and follow a line of others � including Roy Johnson�s � that have already hit the track. Of the three cars seen here, one belongs to Denny Ryburn out of Arkansas and will be piloted by a yet unknown driver, while the other two belong to none other than Chrysler class racing stalwart Joe Teuton and will be for sale. Teuton already has two other Drag Pak�s that he will be campaigning amongst the four that B&B is currently preparing.

There's some footage in the vintage drag film footage of the Sox & Martin hauler in these videos I posted on Youtube.

Such as near the beginning of Part 2 at the 00:35 minute mark or near the end at the 13:00 minute mark below..

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WarGgPgf1cs

.. or you can start watching the whole film from the beginning, it's split into 2 parts, here's Part 1 below...

It's alive!!! Well, after three years of my Rod Shop hauler sitting behind my building, my wife tells me "you need to get that truck running." Cool. New carb, fuel lines, filter, flushed fuel tanks, and a squirt of ether, and wah-lah. Drove it around the neighborhood for for first time ever. It's now resting comfortably inside. New exhaust and tires are next, along with a thorough cleaning. I'm going restore the Nationwise Rod Shop design on the back door, but will probably leave the rest of the paint as-is for now. I plan on bringing it to the Goodguys Nats in Columbus for it's first real outing. It will probably be the only one there.

Here's our 1961 GMC cab over that we hauled the Road Runner to Budds Creek with.Had a V-6 and 4-speed with a 6.17 gear.Used to be a tobacco hauler in Southern Maryland,then the guy we got it from made it into a car hauler.This was in 1975 after we moved to Florida courtesy of the U.S.Navy.

It's great to see the picture of one of my old race car haulers on the first page. Eddie Smith "West Virginia Hemi",originally built it, then sold it to Ray Christian , then I got it and it was part of the "Danger Brothers Racing Team". Does anyone know how I can get in touch with the owner of the truck? Look at the first page and it is the white 70 Dodge with the 56 Plymouth on it.

Pretty cool seeing some of the old colors being exposed as they sand through several layers of paint

pretty sure the doors/cab are the same as a regular 77 truck.

I called Joe about the doors,he's at a swap meet.Looking at a '91 door and says it looks right

Wonder how many years Ma Mopar used the same door

I'm one of those lurkers that has followed this thread since day one. Thanx for keeping it alive, as I think it's a great one,me being an old school kind of guy.
Don't feel bad, I have a thread over on classracer.com that I started a couple years ago titled Original Hemi Dart Information & it has over 495,000 views. BUT,if it were not for a very few contributors, it would have died a long time ago.

I have the same truck. Believe it or not, the hood and fenders are not Mopar parts. They were "universal" and were borrowed from another manufacturer. I haven't researched it fully but they may be the same as late sixties Fords. I haven't looked at Internationals either but numerous people have told me that other medium duties shared similar front ends. Does anybody know of a school bus junkyard?

Re: Post pics of vintage race haulers ,Mopars ,Then or now - 10/23/13 06:20 AM

My point is this ..

Moparts ..

Is without a doubt , the one place where , no one ever says

"Hey thanks for the effort "

Most threads , just repeat..

Over and over ..and OVER

Hence , the long running joke about Pinion angle .

Most sites work like this ,,,

Common response .

Thanks ,,

Nice pics ,,

I have never seen that pic before ,,

etc., etc , etc

Here , the crowd just looks, no response ..

I keep the threads alive mostly because I want to personally want to keep a record of things I see that remind me ..

I see the views, I know people look ... but , no one considers the time it takes to share it

and, other than a few , no one add's to it

I do get some help bumping it from a couple people

Dartman does post pics often ..

it is just the way Moparts is ..

I have often thought, just stop posting them, no one cares ...

but , i do

There are some old paint jobs that really stand out for the fact that they simply work. Leal's SS/NA a-body at the top of page 40, for example. I also thought Landy's Pro Stock Challenger further down was a paint scheme that worked very nicely.

I use to own a 600 series ford stake that I mounted
a over cab car hauler(the cab part on car haulers)..
I mounted it behind the cab on a angle... I use to haul
my 69 Valiant on it... I painted the truck Turbine Bronze..
wish I had some pics of it... My brother had a old
tilt bed Dodge that we turned into his hauler for
his chevelle
This is what I use now days... 95 Dodge Cummins dually
with a 6 speed stick and a semi sleeper mounted on it
with a 43' fifth wheel trailer with LQ... I used the
sleeper when I had my 26' trailer... but the wife
didnt care for the sleeper to much(to small for her likings)

That was a cool video, good pace and a nice mix of static shots with the moving ones.

I'll throw this shot I took in 68, since the car and trailer was in the video.

That 63 hardtop is one of the Rettig Bros. cars I have not seen on that truck

Don Wann used that truck, he was sponsored by them for years and years, to haul his 1963 Savoy M.W. SS car and Dave Rettig 1965 original A990 Dodge and the 1964 Plymouth Hemi SS car they built later with the same paint scheme on all of those cars

No wonder the rims look rusty

All of the Wann Bros and Rettig Bros cars and rigs where always spotless and near show quality

I haven't seen Stevie Wann race since I left SO CA back in 2005, I remember him running around it the pits imitating race car noises when he was probably between 8 and 10 yrs old

Re: Post pics of vintage race haulers ,Mopars ,Then or now - 12/22/18 05:31 AM

Rettig bros vehicles and truck were sharp when they were new, but when I bought it in 2000 it was far from show quality. I drove it from California to Iowa and had numerous issues on the way home. It was a neat truck but it needed a lot of work and I thought it would be in better hands by selling it.

Posted By: A727Tflite

Re: Post pics of vintage race haulers ,Mopars ,Then or now - 01/24/19 03:30 AM

Too much front axle weight on the trailer and too much on the truck rear axle.

I bet the driver thought he was driving a sprint car.

Maybe the trailer spare tire mount was purposely placed there to act like a brake when the bouncing started.

Sort of like a brake on an old soap box derby car.

Cool rig for sure.

Just curious were those AC units mounted on the roof and addition to the stock AC or was that the only AC for the truck?

Posted By: W.I.N. Racing

Re: Post pics of vintage race haulers ,Mopars ,Then or now - 03/17/19 04:43 PM

Back then Trucks were Trucks and A/C was rare bird from the factory. That was about the only cost effective method for those class (1 1/2-2 ton) of truck (typically not used for long distance)

Posted By: 340Cuda

Re: Post pics of vintage race haulers ,Mopars ,Then or now - 03/18/19 06:36 PM

I figure all of them were air conditioned, but also thought that maybe the stock AC was not really adequate for the crew cab and maybe a sleeper. Hence the roof unit. All pure speculation on my part.

Re: Post pics of vintage race haulers ,Mopars ,Then or now - 03/29/20 09:38 PM

That is not a D500 truck, all the D500 truck with Bud type wheels had 5 lug studs on them, the D600 have 6 lugs and the D700 and bigger have ten lug hubs

I'm not sure if that is the original Rettig Bros truck or a tribute truck

Same thing on the car, I've race at the same races as a car that looks a lot like that more than once a long, long time ago. I'm going to say it looks like Don Wann 1963 Plymouth M.W. car but his may have been either a Savoy two door sedan or maybe a Belvedere two door sedan ,not a Hardtop Fury

I bought this truck from Dave Rettig in 2000 and drove it back to Iowa. Steve Wann showed me the ins and outs of the truck before I headed for home. I dont know if D500s had 5 or 6 lugs but that is the original truck. I had it until 2017 and sold it to Pat O'Brien who owns the rettig bros 63 belvedere.

Re: Post pics of vintage race haulers ,Mopars ,Then or now - 03/30/20 05:34 PM

391 industrial was an FE Ford. These trucks used 318 poly, 361 and 413's with some "special" characteristics. I have one or more of each engine in service. The 318 will surprise you! No ramp truck (yet) but we have two D600's, a D500 and a W500. My D800 doesn't count because it is from the later marshmallow cab era.

One interesting note is that these engines use gear driven, reverse rotation cams. I have a set of NOS gears for a reman short that we scored but no cam. From what I remember the distributor turns the right way so there must have been a special intermediate shaft too?

I learn a long time ago to never say that any of the car makers never made mistakes at the factory like installing a 500 grill in a 600 model truck on the assembly, especially on a Monday or Friday

If you want to see Don Wanns 1963 Plymouth in action it is in the movie More American Graffiti. They have it on film on the drag strip and in the pits. You can tell it’s Don(or a look alike)

They also made Belvedere hardtops.

Posted By: Cab_Burge

Re: Post pics of vintage race haulers ,Mopars ,Then or now - 03/30/20 09:55 PM

I was racing at Fremont drag strip the weekend that movie was being filmed, I had a white 1963 Plymouth Belvedere two door sedan 415 HP A/SA. I also owned and race a original 1963 425 HP two door hardtop Belvedere as a pro class bracket car

I and Don Wann both raced a lot at the national and division 7 races back then, we became friends and he would help me when he could and visa versus

He was very lucky to have Dave Rettig as a major sponsor

I saw him several years later win a race at Fremont with Dave 1965 SS/CA 1965 Dodge when it broke a ladder bar going into 3rd gear and he still won that round and fix it in the pits and went onto win that SS race

Don was a really god driver, his Son Stevie learned well also

What would an Olynik enclosed hauler with solid history be worth these days? Restored with a Cummins and 90's dash grafted into a 77 cab?? Asking for a friend

Posted By: Cab_Burge

Re: Post pics of vintage race haulers ,Mopars ,Then or now - 03/31/20 05:43 AM

Steve Wann bought John Deianna old 1974 D700 with a 24 ft.(I think, maybe it is a 26 or 28 ft. box) Olynik body and cut the frame off at the front of the box and grafted a similar year Ford F800 or F900 front end with a Catapillar(SP?) 300 HP V8 diesel and tranny in it to the Dodge chassis, he may have had to use the Ford rear end also to get the best rear gear ratio for that motor

Johns truck was not a crew cab Dodge like most of the trucks they gave to racers

I think I saw only two trucks like that one at the races ever

Which one was John's? I know he had a 64 Polara and I thought his current car was a 64 Fury. I also believe that Steve was recently racing one of John's other cars. John's cars always ran well. I have not seen John in a couple of years now.

Re: Post pics of vintage race haulers ,Mopars ,Then or now - 04/08/20 09:38 PM

The car he had for sale was that 63 can’t remember how he ended up with it, wanted $17.5 and would run .4 under. Max wedge heads where around $4 grand then if you could find a set, me a poor man figured it was out of my league.
Everything he has runs great, I got his number from his buddy running the 64 b car at the Dinwiddy divisional back around 03-4. Later on he had a Duster that got the E record but haven’t kept up with him or the class but the last 4 years. I’m been trying to get my Duster out but just can’t get there.

Re: Post pics of vintage race haulers ,Mopars ,Then or now - 04/08/20 11:10 PM

That hauler is John Dieanna (SP?) old 1974 hauler that Stevie had the front frame behind the cab cut off and had a F7000 or maybe a F8000 Ford complete front end with a CAT V8 diesel welded in and adapted for him to use the more powerful with better fuel mileage CAT diesel motor and tranny to haul with several years ago. I think that truck had either a 360 or 413 gas truck motor in it originally that got around 4 to 5 MPG best ever.
That 1970 Plymouth was his 440 6 pack car that he raced for some time before building the 1962 Plymouth M.W car he is, I think, still racing now.

I remember seeing that Rettig hauler, and cars, at a few races. Always thought that was a pretty cool operation. But, I tell ya, you go 100 miles in that old Dodge after you've become accustomed to modern stuff, and you'll feel like you've done Denver to SLC, via old US 50.

I would bet money that truck with the 3300 Lb.race car on it going to the races weighed less than 12,000 lb. with extra tools in the trunk of the car

It was a rough rider, thank God for the stock thick seats

That looks like the parking lot on the east side of Gary Street across from the fairgrounds that NHRA use to do sportsman tech on Wednesdays for the Winternationals

It is closed now and used for L.A. Transit parking only, maybe gets ten to twenty cars in it at the max on any day, except when the L.A. County fair is on
