Towing?
 

Does anyone do towing ? I have an 85 short with 350, 700R4 and 3.42 and was wondering if anybody knows the tow rating, and also if I change the rear to 3.73 what would that max out. Thanks for any and all info.

This is from my'78 manual. it may be a tad different, but will be good guideline.

These ratings are for the heaviest duty of each type of truck.

Thanks 78 Chevyrado. Thats about 1500 lbs. over the loaded weight of my trailer, that makes me feel a little better thanks.

if youre going to do towing with that trans better read up on it... add a tranny cooler and make sure you have a newer more beefier trans in there or it will toast
