I guess I should have mentioned I had intended to put the 1/2 ton on a trailer and tow the trailer. The braking thing concerns me a little as my braking distance already is substantial. Although there are brakes on the trailer so that should help. Also, if I hafta stay under 50 MPH then it becomes impractical, The idea was to tow the show truck with the work truck to shows some distance away. 250 miles at 45 MPH on two lane roads could really irritate the folks behind me. Would be even worse on 65 MPH highways I would imagine. Its beginning to sound like a bad plan.

I do have radial tires as the curves and quick stops are where you'll get into troubles ~ the rear end will slide out . You should watch yout top speed and try to plan your stops , this means watch the stoplights and side traffic like a hawk as your stopping distance will be pretty long but this -is- do-able and safely if you keep the speed 45 or less . Don't for get to rig up some tow lights for the back of the towed vehicle . Take some pix too ! . -Nate Roy wrote: > > Anybody have any thoughts about using my '51 3/4 ton truck with a 216 and a 4:11 rear to tow my '51 1/2 ton? Anybody put a hitch on one of these trucks?
