She's a 3/4 ton, with a later 235 installed. I plan on making the switch to 12v for trailer brakes, and I also have a rear end "pumpkin" to up the highway speed. Just wondering if it is safe/feasible, or if I should just forget the idea. Hope to be using a 20' gooseneck. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2006 Posts: 247 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2006 Posts: 247 | Just remember the trucks brakes were designed in 1947 for the highway speeds of the day.
For what it is worth.

Remember saftey is the key issue, not only for yourself but for the public. I think it would be pretty cool seeing a old chevy pulling a gooseneck going down the road with all the newer trucks doing the same. Good luck. | | |
