Did someone mention overkill? This is my previous Ranger on a towbar behind the Pete.



The Detroit Diesel pulled pretty good, hardly noticed the little bugger back there.

I have a '87 Dodge W150 myself that I use to drop off my Ranger at the shop for extended repairs. Not a whole lot to look at tho... If I lived in SoCal, Id ditch it and just use my '64 P'Wagon all year long.



I believe the '69 440 Magnum would be up for the task (Not like the Detroiter tho).

I dunno much about the big trucks. I dont own any, just drive them mostly.

I built the '64 about 15 years ago and have drove it very little since. Its on the '78 chassis of a truck I bought in '79. I had eventually built it up with the 440, 4:10 posi's, 33" tires and a small lift. Then the body decided to rust off. I had gotten another more stock truck ('87) in the meantime and decided to redo the '78 with a rustfree '64 body I found in Arkansas (a 6cyl 2wd truck). The frame was sandblasted and painted then the body fitted quite easily (comparitively). The restoration of the '64 was then done. I have only one more digital pic (after recently upgrading to 35's) but I could scan some of the old photos if you want.



Or take some more detail shots for now as its in the barn for a while.:)

That needs an over-size load permit.
