The auxiliary springs were really "HELPER" springs that day !!!

No pictures, but I had two loads of 50 sheets of drywall and 40 cases of tile in my 69 (before I converted it to 1/2 ton)

oldblue1968chevy · 08-24-2011, 01:25 PM

eightbanger · 08-24-2011, 02:41 PM

Had a whole heap of wood in the back today...wish I had known there was gonna be thread about haulin loads.
Here's an old pic.

dubds10 · 08-24-2011, 02:57 PM

How about some heavy loaded trailers? Can't load up the inside like a truck very well lol Towed my burb on the trailer which was 8,000lbs combined, 73 Army chassis truck was roughly 10,000lbs combined and the white trailer loaded up was 12,000lbs.

Towed all those loads with no problems with the 350.

I always had to budget an extra half hour if I went to the dump here in my truck, for people to have a look under the hood etc.

You know what Phil, it's because they're a friendlier crowd up north where you are, but down here they just sit & stare at me.

Sorry, but I honestly have no idea. I was just a wee lad when those pics were taken.

In looking at them over the years, I've always wondered how they loaded it up so high in the first place. They must have had someone with a strong back throwing the bales up to the person stacking on top of the load, but even so...

They were clearly proud enough of themselves that they took the pics, but your guess is as good as mine as to how it was done.

Maybe out of a barn loft? throwed it down into the truck?
