That is an obnoxious price for one. These don't sell for anywhere close to that amount. In fact, I would sell you mine for 1/4 of that price and mine has a proper vintage flatbed, not the home made thing he has on there.

I have a 57 dodge truck with a rollback on it. I sent someone to inspect it as I couldn't make it. I wasn't given an accurate description, now I own a car hauler that isn't good at hauling cars lol

These forward look cars are very heavy. It's just not a great design. Front end gets very light on the truck with an imperial on the back. Needs a longer wheelbase. Condition of the truck isn't up to the standard I like to have. Was advertised as one thing got another. I haven't decided what I'm going to do with it just yet. It's one of those things that if we didn't have 100 projects going on, wouldn't be a big deal. Wanted something that was functional and ready to go and that is not what this is.

That's too bad. If you have space on the frame toward the rear, moving the rear axle backward may solve the problem, but if you notice an issue, you will likely need a couple of feet to make a significant enough difference.

I have had more than a few big Dodge trucks and a lot of times the frame section would get narrower or lose section height after the axle, esp on the 400-600's. You would be better off stretching the frame on a med duty. The 800-900's were constant to EOF but that's getting pretty big to haul a car. Doesn't your dad have one of those crewcab ramp trucks?

Hey Mike, somewhere I have a factory shop manual from one of those old trucks of the era. I am not sure of the year. If you want it, PM me an address and I'll mail it off to ya.
