Re: half ton to 1 ton, can it be done?

How big of a boat? C10's pull boat trailers all the time.... A lwb C10 (86 model) is prob around 4k pounds w/a 1/2 ton capacity so about 5500lbs.

C30 equipment can be swapped over. But, the strength of the taller, heavier gauge steel frame of a C30 won't be there on your C10 which limits the ability to safely tow/haul a similar load.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
