Re: Cab Over Camper
My 63 1/2 ton (leaf springs on the rear) had a 8ft camper on it and My grandfather added a power booster so his legs weren't shaking when he tried to stop it. When I got it I dorve it for a while and it was too heavy so I removed it. My 61 3/4ton had / has a 10ft camper on it and though I haven't driven it I imagine it's down right scarry to stop. If your going to put a camper on it make sure you put 10 ply tires and some sort of rear sway control (Helwig or something) in addition to the heavy springs. Remember the brakes are different on 1/2 tons ( smaller?) so it may be an issue also.
