Pull it?.... yes it will but you won't keep up with traffic if that is what your asking. And what 6 cylinder? The GMC's have more displacement up to 302+ but the Chevies are done at 261 CID.
So your question needs more info in it.
Welcome to the "Bolt",Errol! I agree with 53 moneypit,and the previous owner of my '55 T.F. 6500,pulled a back-hoe behind the truck,loaded it ,then would pull it "home",many times with a "good"load on "Her",and pulling the backhoe besides! My truck is equipped with a 261,SM 420 trans,and a vac. 2-speed rear-end.Just give yourself plenty of braking space,and don't expect to go over 45-50 M.P.H.'depending on the load/gears. If your truck is a '65,it should be equipped with a 292,or a 250. my guess would be a 292,for a C-50,or larger.The 235's and 261's were phased-out about '63,if memory serves me correctly. Have fun with "Her",and please keep us up-dated on your progress! Thanks for the pic's! B.T.W.,the C-50 should be a "light" 2-ton. Do you have a red,(or black),button on your shifter? If so,then you have a 2-speed. Check your data plate near your driver's side door pillar. It will give you more info. Hope this helps. | | |
