iagree
My first car hauling truck was a 1955 Dodge D500 with the old Chrysler Desoto industrial 254 C.I. flat head six, it road better when I hauled over 20,000 Lbs. of firewood on it than it did after I had it converted to haul my 3300 Lb.race cars . That truck had a vacuum operated two speed rear end in it which would jump out of low or high when I would let off the throttle on a hard uphill pull to downshift it or the tranny whiney I would bet money that truck with the 3300 Lb.race car on it going to the races weighed less than 12,000 lb. with extra tools in the trunk of the car twocents
It was a rough rider, thank God for the stock thick seats thumbs
