provided you have all the options (big engine, auto trans, etc).

1/2 ton: 5500 lbs
3/4 ton: 6000 lbs

technically, my max tow rating in my 72 Burb C20 (307, 3 on the tree) is 2000 lbs. that was before i swapped the 4.57 gear for a 4.10. i put a Q-jet on it in place of the 2 barrel and plan to tow my 71 Holiday camper that weighs 6k loaded. if i do any cross country trips i will really need to install my 406sbc with a fuel injection setup (to handle high altitude).
