I'm not really conserned about pushing the truck beyond it's limits, frankly, I'd be using it to get some lumber now and than, hauling a load of hay bales, a pallet of wood pellets for our stove, smaller tractor implements and so on.
But I may want to move a new project vehicle (car/small truck) or smaller tractor (think a Ford 8N or similar) some day down the road, and am wondering if it should handle that okay, or not.
It will do all of this and more, It probably has during it previous life.
This was my 1st restoration,rebuild, conversion. I took 15 months when I retired to redo my truck. I approached it one small project at a time...like eating an elephant, one bite at a time.
You can do it if you stay focused.
