Re: Suggestions for upgrades to tow? 79 C10

Brakes are key to towing capability. Are you willing to give up your 15-inch tires and five-lugs for 3/4-ton components? I'm reasonably certain that c20 spindles and brakes can be fitted to a c10, and if you're swapping the rear axle anyway, might as well.

What's the GVWR of your truck? Can you keep the weight of the truck, the cargo, yourself, and the tongue weight of the trailer within that GVWR?
