Introduction to the Vintage Race Hauler

you got his helmet in here yeah so we got pretty cool piece of history behind us uh this is tim pakman from the garage shop and he's gonna let us check it out tell you about it and i think we might be able to try to fire it up good luck on that if it actually does i don't know so what is this thing so what we have here as you see it is daryl waltrips race truck that he used he hauled the car there it was uh parts in there and like unlike the modern day hauler daryl originally bought this uh his wife's dad owned a trucking company daryl bought it but then all of a sudden he didn't need it because he got the deal with dye guard so he's like i'm going to sell this so he sold it to sold the bud more this was actually the original hauler for dale earnhardt when he drove for bud moore so after a while of having it bud got out of it and daryl said well i'm going to buy it back now because daryl formed his own deal and because here at the garage shop in denver north carolina we house a large portion of daryl waltrips cars and race cars and that so it's just natural we got our hands on it and he said well one place to put it so here it sits in denver north carolina so what what year is this thing it's a is it a gmc is it titan is that what they call it i think it was a gmc titan as you can see it's got the flat front uh i guess they put the wing on up there um and it's been painted repainted if you look
