The three speed is marginal you really need a granny 4 speed If your moving heavy loads. I used a 64 C20 250 Six & granny 4 speed with a home built wrecker sling for many years. I even moved a couple of school buses with it. A C20 as the atvantage of a heaver frame stronger springs. Floating 8 lug rear axle, bigger brakes and many had 456 rear gears.
