Wow, I'm following this string...so much info with no exact answer to help me too. I have a 1970 C20 (model CE20934) with a 396 (400 CID) V8 and 127 wheel base. It has leaf springs. Okay here is my situation. I have a 3500# enclosed trailer (with electric brakes) and a 3500# Car = 7000# total towing payload. I have the required tires for towing. I haven't installed a trailer hitch yet. And I haven't installed trailer tongue to trailer hitch anti sway bars (that I plan on doing). Can somebody with better brains and smarts then me, tell me, my setup will be within manufacturing quidelines to tow? And will it be safe?
