Don Prudhomme's funny car hauler, 1967 Dodge C-700

Don was hooking up the batteries in order to turn on the radio...
So he could show some people how things worked inside, and then asked my girlfriend http://justakargal.blogspot.com/ to hop up inside and was showing her the radio, a/c and stuff...
To explain why Don bought a 67 truck in 69, I need to tell you that before Don bought it used, it was the hauler for Sox and Martin, and you can see that here: http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2009/01/nikollas-digs-up-coolest-photos-of-drag.html

For a restoration story on the hauler, and a video from inside it where Don drove a couple reporters to lunch: http://www.nhra.com/blog/dragster-insider/page/10/ just a 1/4 of the way down the page, since the direct links don't work

If you love haulers and transporters, then look down to the 2nd half of my hauler posts: http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/search/label/hauler
