Where did they all go? Is it reasonable to have a back half car on the truck then still pull a large bumper pull trailer if you arrange the cargo properly, to compensate for tongue weight? | ||

I stil think they're cool, to see. Goes back to the 70's/80's, seeing race cars on ramp trucks. I dont think there's much of a market for the ramp bodies anymore, unfortunately. The enclosed trailer market killed that. You have to put in the effort, to get anything out of it. | |||

To the junkyard. They stopped building them Because there hasn’t been a market for them for 30 years | |||

Hodges is still cranking them out, though not in the same volume they used to. Very much a niche market. | |||

Wastebook has a page called Ramp trucks new and old. Always someone showing off a new one,and just as many old ones,from usable to something to laugh at. | |||

I built this for a friend 20 years ago. He still uses it.

my customer had one done by them a few years ago. He ended up having a local guy fix it. Horrible finish work and it was big $$$$ | |||

Thanks. All I did was frame and skin it. One piece aluminum roof. Kenny is a carpenter so he finished it with vinyl covered luan, and he wired it for 120/12 volt. I has a generator in one of the boxes on the side. I did his hauler and he built the wife a sunroom on the back of the house.

Dave! Ididnt know you built that truck! It’s always been a great piece and made me want one. But the enclosed trailer is such a better deal these days. | |||

I'd love.one because outside of towing a trailer I have very little use for a pickup. I didn't enjoy dailying my 2500 diesel the 5 miles to work, and it's hard to have $60gs tied up in just a weekend vehicle like that. | |||
