These trucks were not built to show anxiety very often.

I had an opportunity to load about 4000lbs on the back of my C50 for a few minutes. I expected to see the suspension drop and see the old rusty flatbed flex under the weight; not an inch.
I measured from the axle to frame before/after to show total spring compression and it totaled 3/4"!!! The old beat-up rusty flatbed didn't even budge, it was like nothing was on it.

They may not be turbo-diesel speed-demons, but these trucks are TOUGH. (I can only imagine a C70)
