I have always loved vintage car haulers. There is just something about race car haulers from the 50s-70s that is cooler than today's plane white boxes. Perhaps no hauler was more emblematic of the era than the Ford C Series cab-over truck, built from 1963 to 1990; everyone from Shelby American to Wood Brothers Racing used the C Series in various configurations. At race tracks around the world, it was likely you would see a C Series in the pits.

For me, it is all about the looks and being transported back to a different time, so I think I want to keep the original chassis. For drivability, I have been thinking about repowering it with a modern drivetrain. Many people think I should buy a modern crashed truck and swap the body. But looking at the size of this thing, I don't know if a modern import cab over is big enough.

Check out my video below as I see the C700 for the first time and let me know in the comments what you would do.
