Towing capacities?
 
Is there anywhere that lists the towing capacities of the 69-72 era trucks?

I am specifically wanting to know the capacity of a K10, C20, and K20 w/ a 350 and both auto and manual trans. Gear ratio's should be the most common usually found in these trucks....

Sweet! Thanks!

So it looks like the max trailer capacity for any of these trucks is around 7,000lbs if I am reading this correctly. My 2000 K1500 is rated for around 7800lbs....so much for buying an old C20 in order to get a better trailer puller....

Interesting...they list the Blazer as "K10" and "C10" and don't list other K models...but there is the note below the chart that they are given in another pamphlet.

With the right rear end, these trucks can haul as much as any new truck. Problem is stopping. The 99 and newer trucks with 4 wheel disc brakes stop much better. Of course that may not be important~~~ :D
