My recent post on the engine forum regarding rpm on the 216 and 235 engines brought up the question of how you use your trucks. My '48 dually has a GVW of 8800lbs and I intend to use it that way occasionally. Am I delusional? Steering, brakes, suspension and tires are fine and I'll figure out which engine and rear end gears I'll use.
As always, I appreciate your stories and input!
