1968 Chevy 1/2 ton towing capacity
I have a 68 c10 with a 350, and 4 speed tranny, what is the towing capacity on these? I'm not sure what gears it has, is there anyway to check?

Re: 1968 Chevy 1/2 ton towing capacity
Pull the rear end cover and on the ring gear there is some numbers like 41:11,ect.
Compare those to the numbers below and you have your ratio Ratio 2.56:1 - Tooth Combination 41,16 Ratio 2.73:1 - Tooth Combination 41,15 Ratio 3.07:1 - Tooth Combination 43,14 Ratio 3.08:1 - Tooth Combination 40,13 Ratio 3.08:1 - Tooth Combination 37,12 Ratio 3.31:1 - Tooth Combination 43,13 Ratio 3.36:1 - Tooth Combination 37,11 Ratio 3.42:1 - Tooth Combination 41,12 Ratio 3.55:1 - Tooth Combination 39,11 Ratio 3.73:1 - Tooth Combination 41,11 Ratio 4.10:1 - Tooth Combination 41,10 Ratio 4.11:1 - Tooth Combination 37,9 |

you'll need that info to determine what your towing capacity is.

Re: 1968 Chevy 1/2 ton towing capacity
Really? Seems like brakes and springs would determine towing capacity.

Re: 1968 Chevy 1/2 ton towing capacity
Think of it this way,you may have the biggest brakes in the world and 1 ton springs but your truck and 3:08 gears wont tow a trailer up a steep hill.Need lower gears to tow.Atleast 3:73s IMO,maybe 4:10

Re: 1968 Chevy 1/2 ton towing capacity
I swiped these off the board a couple of months ago. Once you know your ratio, I'll tell you how much trailer you can haul. I know they are a little hard to read, but if you squint you can make it out
