Heres the deal, I got a toyota pickup measuring 90 inches wide with trail tires and need a big deck over wheels trailer to haul it. A few months ago I had picked up a 1969 F100. My orginial thoughts were to make it into a street truck. Well as I had a few more brain farts the idea of making the f100 into a tow rig.
The truck needs a few things in order to making this a possibility. Its got a 390(poo) and a C6 auto, drum brakes all around. I was thinking just a motor rebuild, disk brakes all around, hydroboost, and beefier rear end and springs.
My biggest concern with making this happen is frame strength and hauling with gooseneck or 5th wheel.
I am sure there might be some flames going right now but, I am not completely familiar on these trucks and their strength. What are some ideas i might need to look into or things that someone might know that i dont here.
Thanks in advance!
