How many use their 60-66 Chevy or GMC's as a towing vehicle? Lets see some pics of Trucks, Suburbans or Panels used when towing camping trailers, boats, flat beds, other vehicles, etc. Here are a few.

These are beyond cool!! Do you still have the matching trailer? Would be cool to see an updated pic of this.

61_FL_Apache · 09-09-2011, 07:41 PM

I'd like to get an old Shasta travel trailer similiar year to my truck and camp with that rig.

**Clyde65** · 09-09-2011, 07:55 PM

61, those are hard to find in any decent condition, most are up in the northern state because that is the only pleace where you could sleep at night and not have ac.

61_FL_Apache,

Here is a nice GMC towing a Shasta.

**Clyde65** · 09-09-2011, 08:11 PM

WOW! That is nice!

**Clyde65** · 09-09-2011, 08:15 PM

61 Apache, would this one work?

or maybe this one?

Mr Pops · 09-09-2011, 08:28 PM

Here's another pic of the 63 GMC. I actually know the owner who lives near me.

**Clyde65** · 09-09-2011, 08:29 PM

That is too cool, I would like to get one, but I have never been a camper.

jonzcustomshop · 09-10-2011, 08:01 AM

some from my stock car file... If you guys want to see some wedge trucks, I have a a lot more shots of those...

awbrown · 09-10-2011, 08:21 AM

You made me find my old racing album, I had a 65 ramp truck that we used for when I was drag racing, but I need to find some better photos....

**special-K** · 09-10-2011, 08:44 AM

I have these shots to offer. Does the last one count since he's unhoked? Didn't notice till I posted. You get the idea:

Exactly!!! There are many out there, but you have to bring full pockets of money and be willing to travel. I find most of the nice ones are out west somewhere. It will be a hard sell to the wife that it does not come with AC or a "can".

**Clyde65** · 09-10-2011, 10:30 AM

The ones I have seen have a small window ac unit, the can thing is something your gonna have to park real close to or drop her off at the hotel and you go to the camp ground.

thirdstreettito · 09-10-2011, 10:40 AM

Here's all of the pics I have. Big ones count!

Wow!! I like the angle of that pic. You should get the owner to become a member on here and post more pics from all angles of that awesome combination on here.

markeb01 · 09-10-2011, 11:23 AM

This one belongs to a former business associate. I think he referred to the trailer as the canned ham style:

66Gilbert · 09-10-2011, 01:19 PM

Here are a couple pics from member k14burb who hasn't been on the forum for a while. His 1966 4x4 Suburban towing some toys.

oem4me · 09-10-2011, 01:37 PM

I had to install a hitch to yank the 'ol woodie around. Most of you know that I like original trucks, the 1958 Chris Craft Continental is also an un-restored boat.

**Clyde65** · 09-10-2011, 02:13 PM

Nice oem, I guess having a woodie means something different to you huh?
