Re: Well yea, its a truck!
That's exactly what my truck did in all of it's time and that's exactly what it's gonna do when it's back together!
It's good to still see an old 68 hauling the racecars. |

Re: Well yea, its a truck!
I use to pull 27' boat with my '71. It was 9600lbs dry on a 1700lb trailer, 540lbs gas, water and supplies. That old 400 had little problem pulling it. Stopping was not much fun nor were tire ruts. It definatley wagged the dog. Being surrounded by water we never towed it more the 30 miles.

Re: Well yea, its a truck!
3000 plus miles on its very first parts run for me!coast to coast
there is a 454 in front of one cab and a 400 in front of the other not to mention all the parts packed in both cabs.I went out of the way to dodge all scales. Last edited by 67/72junkie; 05-25-2011 at 10:17 PM. |
