After spending two years building a log home (with a large shop) and not having the time to touch the truck, it was time to start a new project. A neighbor and fellow rodder just happened to be looking for another rod and made me an offer I couldn't pass up.
If you have visited here before you know that my original idea was to name this truck Old Yeller. I will be painting it to match my next project, an "American Graffiti" inspired 32 Ford 3 window coupe and I'll be using this truck to haul the Deuce to different shows across the country. Since both the Deuce and the truck will be Hemi powered I decided to change it's name to the "Hemi Hauler".
Now I know many people don't believe in trailering street rods. However driving an open hooded non air conditioned Deuce all over the country is not a combination that lends itself to comfortable long distance driving. The way I look at it if you're going to have to trailer a car, at least you can use a classic truck to pull it.
