Re: C30 capacities???

The '69 RV brochure only lists the C/10 and C/20 as well. The limis are lower than the '72 ratings which Disc brakes likely have a big part in.

Managed to dig out some Medium Duty brochures and the lowest to have a GCW is a C/50 and that runs 8k CS(six)to 21k CE(v8).

At this point though without the actual equipment level on the truck in question everything is a generalization.

I agree. I need to get my hands on the truck and get some more information.

I am interested to see where the specs come in at. I have a 2000 K2500 regular cab with a 7.4liter (with only 46,000 miles) that is not rated to tow something as heavy as my tractor. It is a great work truck, but I was really disappointed when I found out it was only rated to tow a maximum of 9,500 lbs! And that is both the conventional and 5th wheel maximum with a 3.73 rearend. Even if I had 4.10's, capacity goes to 10k for conventional, and 11,500 for 5th wheel... still not close to the 14k I need. Anywho...

Thanks again for all of the help from everyone! I did miss this board!
