Vintage style FEd hauler

Dolmetsch:
While I have enjoyed haulin my FED in my V10 Ram pickup bed I have a 426 Max Wedge I drive on the street. I decided since my racing is local (within 20 miles of home) to build a matching trailer for the 63 wedge car and go to the track in style. Now I realize it will be good for cruise night displays as well. Yesterday Linda (aka Mrs D) and I pushed the rail on the trailer for the first time.  I am happy with the look so far.
Must be lots of others with neat haulers. How about some pics.

one of my tow options is my 1969 Chevy Panel truck. It already had 454 just need to get good auto trans hopefully with overdrive. I inherited it from my grandfather. I grewup taking summer vaction trips with grandparent is it. I remember looking over his shoulder while we where headed to Disney worl with a 43 foot camper and seeing the speedometer on 110. Yea the need for speed is multi generational in family.

  I have 24' conversion on FL-70 chassis that I will use for long hauls.But for more local races I'll use the panel.Besides a decked out 1969 panel truck towing a Front engine dragster just looks right at home.

C10 might be a light light duty, but I guess you could beef up the springs.

Really nice looking panel.
