When we were moving from north of Houston to Fredericksburg Tx (250 miles one way) five years ago I drove my mostly stock (has a '67 Camaro 3.55 rear end) 1952 GMC 152 flatbed four round trips loaded in the bed and dragging a 6x10 trailer and one more one way without the trailer at the end. Total of about 2250 miles in less than 3 weeks. Poor little 228 engine had one hill on US 281 (250 foot elevation gain in a little over a mile and a half) that it started up at 60+ MPH and was doing 37 at the crest. But it never missed a beat.
'57 GMC 102, Original 347 V8, HydraMatic, 3.08 rear gear, added A/C, disk front brakes, HEI, AFB carb, '98 Honda Black Currant paint. T-boned and totaled 10/12
'52 GMC 152 Stake Bed, Original 228, SM420, added A/C, HEI, disk front brakes, '67 Chev 3.55 rear gear. Gets used as a real truck.
