With that load you probably could have done with a set of air bags assisting the rear springs ��

As long as the front wheels touch the ground every ten feet or so and you can correct the steering it will be alright.

I love to see original pickups hauling loads. I have a scrapbook of all the loads I hauled over the 45 years.

Laurie,

With that load how fast did you go, and how long did it take you to stop?
