1971 Dodge D700 RACE CAR HAULER with PRO STOCK HISTORY

Description for Dodge Other Pickups 1971

For Sale: SM1 Box Truck

This is the first box truck built by Oleynik Body Sales, Inc. (box ID reads SM1) for Sox & Martin Race cars. The truck is a 1971 Dodge D700 413 V8 built by Chrysler Canada LTD in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. The truck has a 24-foot box, designed by Buddy Martin to have a door on theleftside so they could walk in and out …until then, they only had a door in the rear. {A photo is included of the Sox and Martin truck which is identical}.

One truck went to Ronnie and Buddy, this truck went to Reid Whisnant and the other ‘may’ have gone to Jim Clark. It is known that Reid Whisnant of Atlanta Race Cars owned this particular truck. His colors, as well as the colors of Rufus Boyd of Brooklyn Heavy fame are still found on the body. The D700 cab was also red and white!

Reid Whisnant hauled his Dixie Dart in it, then the Dixie Twister…owned by Rufus Boyd. Whisnant set national records with his cars in 1971. Rufus Boyd was colorful and extremely well liked and owned nearly all the best known cars during this period. Herb and Ronny both drove for Rufus. This needs restoration but remarkably complete and close to what it was originally. The motor, brakes, rear end, clutch and transmission function well but need servicing. These trucks were sponsored by Chrysler. It has an expanded entry where the rear window was in the cab, so you could move from the cab into a sleeping area. These were built with air brakes and roof air conditioning. $9,500.00. Sold on a bill of sale.
