my tow rig

[ChevyMudTruck]

well most of ya'll know i use my 1970 f600 wrecker as a tow rig to pull my trailer . . well the other week i swapped the motor from the stock 330 gasser to a 390 .030 over, floated rods, milled heads and a comp cam . . well now this week put the 5th wheel on and had to move the wrecker rig forward about 14 inches to clear the trailer . . . i still going to have to cut the front corner on the trailer to make sure they don't hit when i jack it around . . . the trailer is a 40 ft 5th wheel, single axle rated at 24,000 payload with air brakes . . i'm putting an air brake system on the f600 but with a hand valve to control the air rather then using the brake pedal . . . so yeah that's where i'm at now

[kOBIS]

are you selling your other trailer? I have a buddy looking for one.

lookin' nice by the way!!!

Do you still have the original seats in that thing?

If so, you should find a wrecked F250/350 and throw those seats in there. I know you have the resources to find them.

Paint it up like the HD edition.:flip:

Damn bro, about time you had a decent trailer to haul that monster ride around. I was looking around the junkyard today at some wrecked rigs, trying to find you some valves so you could have a decent brake setup. Best I could find was the air system off of a school bus. did not think it would fit your needs, so I left it. I am kinda curious on how you are going to do the brakes anyway
