C30 capacities???

[amstaff]

It has been quite a while since I last visited this wonderful site! Sold my last '72 around 5 or 6 years ago, but have not been able to get this addiction beat. I have been keeping my eyes peeled for a suitable project truck, and after all of these years, I may have found one!

There is a local auction that has a 69 C30 listed. There are only a couple of pics, and they don't tell me too much. I did a drive by this afternoon, and the property is chained off, and there is no access. No luck. Auction is in June! I would love to get my hands on the truck to take notes and pics and bounce some questions off of the members of this forum. I'm hopeful that I can get in sooner than later. I'm hopeful.

What little I know about the truck is that it appears to have a home-made carhauler in the back. The pics are not from a good angle (almost straight on), but I am pretty sure it does not have an extended wheel base. I'm thinking it is a standard C30 wheelbase truck that someone cobbled together a car hauler bed on. I do not know the motor or transmission info. Guessing a 350??

With all that said, does anyone have any idea of the towing capacity of a '69 C30 (assuming a 350 and 4-speed)?? My plan would be to completely restore it and put a flatbed on it. Would be used mostly to haul hay, but on occasion I would like to haul my tractor which weighs 9,200lbs. Will this truck tow a 14k trailer???

Thanks for any input.
