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.

41 Plymouth with a 425 Caddy. It will be vintage race car material someday. Sitting next to that is a 1957 Chevy stock car that had a pretty rough last race

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.

Some people are like Slinkies... not really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.
