Hi everyone,
Just wanted to share my experience on how much these old trucks can work. My wife and I just bought our first house and used our 51 3100 to move about 80% of our belongings. Put over 150 miles of back and forth driving between the apartment and the new house about 12 miles round trip--most of it stop and go traffic and temperature was between 80-90 and humid. The old 216 just purred along, never overheated (can't say the same for the driver) and many loads later we are moved into our first house!!
Matilda, as we call her, is now resting in her new garage. Here is a picture of her with one of many loads.
Photobucket Just wanted to share.
