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 ex girlfriend 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

For a photo of Tom McEwens "Mongoose" dragster funny car hauler: https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcQbmeQGuCrvTnvRlJxT1-AczWrAoQ_fTbSjJIoPRIWqPAK1Gt1tU-DY2s0pHy4McY9vhnOkKsr5RE_LsbtW5_8A-X0w2EKJSg4yj5AHhxWw-tOtnVv9RweLF4XOBZtNP8KQN5/s1600-h/hfmkjg.bmp
