How do these things tow in the real world? This scenario is a one time tow but a long one.
My 80 is in NC at my buddies house and I need to get it here. He is going to sell his lx soon as he has a 570 now and doesn't need it anymore. He owes me for the 2fe engine I gave him so he is offering to sell me his lx cheap and tow my 80 to me in WA.
I'm not entirely sure how much my 80 weighs it doesn't have an engine or trans in it since I'm going to swap a Gen V LT engine into it. Also I may not need to stock driveshafts so they may he gone also and it has no raditor or really anything undwr the hood. So I'm missing about 1100 or 1200 lbs at least.
It is raised with a chopped up Arb bumper and weld on sliders so I imagine add back in about 450lbs. So let's day about 4,000 lbs or close to it. Uhaul trailer rental trailers weigh about 2200 lbs so let's say 6500 lbs all together.
Truck just had radiator replaced, tbelt job with water pump, etc.... new brakes and will have helper springs installed. Rental trailer will have trailer brakes.
Will this be fine for a one time thing?
