Re: Towing with a 305
We could give lot better suggestions on towing capability if we had more info, like 305 or 351? 3 or 4 speed, or auto trans. Long or short wheelbase, numerical drive axle ratio, manual or power brakes, half ton or Heavy Half.
It's kinda funny, 35 years ago I drove a tandem axle semi-tractor, 903 cid V-8, 6 speed manual trans, 320 hp, governed to 67 mph. Typical load was 70,000 to 75,000# gross, sometimes more. My new pickup has 395 hp, 8-speed trans, and is rated to tow 16,000# gross! Either my old truck was WAY over-loaded or my new truck is way under rated.
