Don that's frickin' awesome. Forget ramps weld a 5 foot dovetail with full width rollers underneath like a tow truck. Put a winch on the bed and power it with a lifeline from the truck. use connectors like a snow plow at the truck and the winch that way you can unplug and drive away. just remember to always keep the cable with the truck.
We had a IHC just like this we built with a swap loader unit and it was so handy, we even could use it like a tow truck,Anything imaginable,so handy of these trucks and just like a rollback, you can even extend the bed you have with a little work and put a winch on front with a cord from the truck that plugs in for removing or it’s own battery 🤔👍🏻
Hey Big Job Ford! Yes you can't beat a roll off hook truck. Sky is the limit for anything it can do. I plan to stretch the flat bed and add a winch. Have a good one Buddy 👍
Thanks Jeff! Thus flatbed will come in handy. Some said he looks a little bit unsafe. I just didn't have the car tied down 100 percent tight. I'm really digging the old 4 door. It's a cool old car
Hey JJ! I've always wanted to have a flat bed for this truck. I need to have my Buddy build me some ramps and maybe make it 2 or 3 feet longer. Love the old 55 and how original it is. Later 👍
It's been awhile but I love this video because the car looks great and I always knew you would find a way to make it work you definitely are a man after my heart when it comes to tri-fives well done keep up the good work always Alabama 😅
To be honest at first I laughed and said oh know Don done got a nother tri 5 LOL 😂 Then I thought I see that before, I Remember u talking about the oh Truck , but didn't think that's what u had in mind. That's a awesome setup there Bud for sure . Cool deal Have a good one Bud 👍✌️
Hi Don, thanks for the video and update, the weather has been pretty bad lately even were I live to . Just a idea, check out Harbor freight,they have a nice set of aluminum ramps that might work for you.
Man, that's a sweet set up Don, sorta reminds me of a ramp truck set up! Put the 55 nomad gasser up on it and head to the track! Be the coolest set up there
Cool machine Rockin Don. You got it in the end. I see you have a matter plan. 55s cool. Great beater.. Get some big mud and snows fitted..skips they called in England. You wagon is a little different system to English system. Same style. Utube English skip wagons /trucks. Back end was a little closer.. Maybe needs to be 3 foot longer. But cool deal. Good luck Rocking Don. How it all works out. Keep the videos coming. Adios Amigo . D
Don the 55 looks good back together. and the truck works well with the flatbed. i would have bought that 55 too. my 55 ragtop started life as a 55 4 door that was not as nice as this one is.
Yeah man it sure did it close. This car has lowered blocks on the rear axle and also no engine so the back is low and front is high. Other cars might have more room at the back frame coming up onto the truck. Later Buddy 👍
Don, all i can say is awesome brother. Very clever set up for sure. An what an awesome daily driver it wil make you. Keep on keeping the tri-fives alive. 😁👍👍
Thanks Richard! I sure do like the old 55 chevy. Everyone roasts me about it being a 4 door but dam the car is cool. I love the flatbed setup, I'm going to get it extended and have ramps built. Later Buddy 👍
You have a nice convertable that needs your attention I'd be putting my money into that one but you can always sell this new car for more than what you paid for it so it's all good you still have the junk yard 55 though
Looks like a cool '55 210. These cars are not often used because of the 4-door configuration, but not to be fooled, there is a local guy here in Toronto who has used a 4-door 210 '55 as his base, completely bagged it with American Racing Torq Thrust rims in each corner. lt sits with a very low stance, in brilliant fire engine red. lt is absolutely shocking how cool it is. Nice car, l am sure you will find some use for it.
Similarly we have a 4 door 57 in town that's pretty much primer with mags on each corner and it looks sharp. If you look for DD Speed Shop on youtube he's a guy out of Winnipeg (Manitoba) who has done about 5 4 door to 2 door conversions on tri 5s. Astounding.
Hey Gorni! Yeah they make any length flat bed for these trucks. I got this one used for 1500 bucks and had to grab it. I have a welder buddy that said he can make it longer and make ramps for it. Have a good one Buddy 👍
nice car ,nice camera work Big Don,Greetings from Alberta Canada

the truck. use connectors like a snow plow at the truck and the winch that way you can unplug and drive away. just remember to always keep the cable with the truck.
Thanks Buddy! I plan to stretch the flat bed and add a winch. It's a very handy piece to have for hauling old cars. Have a good one
Never seen a flatbed look so good🎉🎉🇺🇸

Yeah Don that car will be a perfect daily driver one day.
Looks like a sweet multi pourpose tow rig now! That flatbed is the perfect size. The 4 door looks great too! Take care Don!
Thanks Jeff! Thus flatbed will come in handy. Some said he looks a little bit unsafe. I just didn't have the car tied down 100 percent tight. I'm really digging the old 4 door. It's a cool old car
That would probably buff out good. Nothing wrong with a four door. Have fun Don.
I agree Brad! The old 55 is pretty cool and so original.
Hi Don!
I can put that on my list of things I’ve never seen! I’m glad to see you made that truck into a car hauler!👍🏽thanks for sharing!!!
Exactly what I thought would be good for hauling cars I don’t catch your live , thanks BigAl California
Hey Don,
Man that’s pretty cool how you can put it on the back of the truck like that. The old 55 looks good. 👍🏻
Hey JJ! I've always wanted to have a flat bed for this truck. I need to have my Buddy build me some ramps and maybe make it 2 or 3 feet longer. Love the old 55 and how original it is. Later 👍
When Big Don says he's gonna do something, Big Don gets it done!! Very cool bud!!
Thanks Chaz! I love the Tow Rig flat bed. There will be a few Tri5s on it for sure. Later Buddy 👍
I had a 4 door 55 back in the day and was making a gasser than traded it fir a 63 nova.
SHOULD HAVE KEPT THE 55!
It's been awhile but I love this video because the car looks great and I always knew you would find a way to make it work you definitely are a man after my heart when it comes to tri-fives well done keep up the good work always Alabama 😅
Tri5s are the best for sure👍
3:03 They’re called “Millennials” or “Electric Car Owners”
To be honest at first I laughed and said oh know Don done got a nother tri 5 LOL 😂 Then I thought I see that before, I Remember u talking about the oh Truck , but didn't think that's what u had in mind. That's a awesome setup there Bud for sure . Cool deal Have a good one Bud 👍✌️

Yeah man. Don't give me any ideas. Lol Have a good one Buddy 👍
Nice one Don, love the wheels. Stay safe.
That’s a slick setup Don! I’d love to be able
To haul one of my cars without having to hook up the trailer!
Thanks Dan! I've always wanted a flat bed for this truck. My Buddy said he can make it longer and build me some nice ramps. Have a good one 👍
Love your 55 4 door Don! Such a clean, neat old car, best to you!
Thanks Man! I really like the old car
A far more realistic wheelie scene than the Fast & Furious Charger scene.
Looks great! Tri-five love is in the DNA. Good job!

Man that looks like my 4 door 55. Awesome car, can’t wait to see what you do with it.
Looks cool on the flatbed.
It’s raining Tri-5 Chevys . Looking good Don .👍👍👀👀
Shawn RR
Good one Shawn👍👍
That's a pretty slick setup nice job
Looks great Don . It definitely a cool 4 door. 👍😎✌️
Hey Kevin! I really dig the car and love how it's so original. Later Buddy
Never saw a Lift or Tow before like this on U-Tube
when at full angle the tail of the car came close to the ground but it did miss the ground. now you can move em
Yeah man it sure did it close. This car has lowered blocks on the rear axle and also no engine so the back is low and front is high. Other cars might have more room at the back frame coming up onto the truck. Later Buddy 👍

Very cool tow rig setup!
Thanks Man I love it
That's pretty awesome buddy!!!
Better rain than snow! O-H!
Nice 4 door, have fun.

Thanks for sharing Don
Looking good don
Hey Don , that was awesome, yep the whole thing was right in the middle of the screen, good job, is the wheel base on the Nomad the same
Hey Mike! Yeah I love the flat bed on this rolloff truck. Nomads and all Tri5s are the same wheelbase. Have a good one Buddy 👍
@@donshotrodgarage1717 👍👍
Thats a cool Tri5!!
You should try to do a conversion with Dan from dd speed shop lol!
I'm coming to keep it just like it is. Not all cars need to be 2 doors. Later man
They are all KOOOOOOOLL!!
I agree
This 55 is a cool car
Works pretty slick👍🏻
Hey Chris! Man I love this flat bed. I'm going to have my Buddy extend it a couple feet and build me some ramps. Have a good one Buddy 👍
Great video Don! Love the rollback. Do the make them longer like if you want to pick up a caddy or Lincoln?
Hey Gorni! Yeah they make any length flat bed for these trucks. I got this one used for 1500 bucks and had to grab it. I have a welder buddy that said he can make it longer and make ramps for it. Have a good one Buddy 👍
@@donshotrodgarage1717 nice 👍
Dons Repo service 😊
Don, will a Nomad fit?
Yes nomad is the same length
Cool!
Cool
So cool
Thanks Mike! You the one that made me start thinking differently about the 4 doors. You've got a super cool one. Later man👍
@donshotrodgarage1717 it could be yours lol
@@smtri5garage376 I have enough.
Going to convert it?
Keeping it like it is
Is this car for sale , thanks , just what I’m looking for, you want to trade , I have the same ol trucks for trade thanks buddy BigAl California
Hey AL! This cars not for sale it's on the back burner till after I fix up a couple other ones. Have a good one
I thought parts car....
A parts car for what car?
I just figured anyone with the cream of the crop so to speak.... Nomads and convertibles. Why would you want a 4 door?
Why did you buy anther car don shouldn't you be spending that money on getting your other cars together and painted
I've had this car down and my work. All my other cars are not being held up by money. Have a good one
