That GMC looks like a W 670, maybe a '58 or so. 503 cube straight 6, 217 h.p. and a lot of torque.

Good load for a 4-71...........but doable , with enough gears ! I'd guess 5 X 4 X 2 speed axle = 40 potential ?

Bill----I still have your 8 speed Roadranger when you're ready . R-46 .

With this snow and cold, it's not quite accessable .

I'll bet "Screaming Jimmy" was an understatement on that pull. I can just hear that thing in low low pulling that mountain.
