What are you towing with?

[Darky]

that's awesome.
I'm jealous of your rust free cool old trucks.

Hey, it's got rust...there's a real light surface rust on the hood and roof. It's getting to where I might have to bust out the sand paper and get rid of it!

Yea it is. Small tool box. Dad had a '79 I learned to drive on that had one of those. Man that truck was awsome!

 

[87manche]

from the day when if it broke you just fixed it on the side of the road.

Perhaps I'm doing it wrong

Went from an 83 J20 w/ rebuilt 360 and worked TF727 with 4.10 gears to a 2002 7.3 liter F350 crew cab. As much as I love my Jeeps, I LOVE my F350! Better to have too much capacity than not enough.......

'02 F350 Crewcab, 7.3L PSD. No issues towing.

Just welded up a hitch extension so I can tow with my cab-over camper.

This may not be the thread to ask this, but anyone have any experience towing with a cab-over camper on a single rear axle truck? I'm mildly concerned about stopping power, even with a brake controller.

How long of an extension? I had a srw diesel with a 12' camper. I made a 48" extension. (copied a super hitch design) Stopping was fine turning on the other hand very scary. The loaded trailer liked to push the truck into a fish tail slide on all most every turn I made. I then started looking around and noticed I didn't see super hitches on srw trucks just duellys.

Be carefull.

Your ford will have no problem stopping that.
