Custom trucks, and towing.
Yesterday, as I bombed home from Reno where I bought some truck parts for my dad's friend. Again.
I saw a retired man towing in my opinion getting close to 10,000 pound goose neck trailer with a 50's Dodge flat bed truck with a Cummins 6bt. It was on a modified C30 frame.
I found this out when I caught him in Lee Vining getting lunch at the same restaurant I was going too. So we had a conversation about our respective loads.
So as I reevaluate my Willys project which factory has a 3500 pound towing capacity. With one plan using C10 suspension which would allow a 7000 pound towing capacity. Compared to my Jag suspension plan which would probably not like a 3500 pound towing. Much less being loaded up for any reason. Making it a profiler.
So while we all know it's legal till you get caught. Does the DOT, weigh stations, or highway patrol ever get involved with people doing these things?
