I towed a '48 Chevy 2 ton truck from Fairbury NE to Chillicothe, MO with a half ton w/235 engine. Had to take it slow all the way, 35 for a top speed. Any faster and I couldn't have maintained control. I frequently had to go into third or even second ( I had a 4 speed) Cornering is a bear and in heavy traffic could get you hurt or someone else. I recently towed a '52 2 ton home from about 25 miles.......same deal. My advice..........have a real good tow bar and don't forget about having a way so you have lights on the towed vehicle. I had a receiver hitch, class III from ebay which I modified to fit my truck. Oh, and if it's been changed to open driveshaft, I'd disconnect the rear u joint and that way you won't have your trans spinning all that way. rmarks10 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 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? Any issues, tips, tricks? Will my bumper interfere?
