towing the wheeler WITH the wheeler

Pook · Jun 1, 2007

way heavier rig and frame just to start with. Better brakes, better tranny and built to take the load.

I have had an s10 and now have an old 3/4 ton camper special chevy that I tow with. Big difference in the two rigs.

Sell s10 buy tow rig. then you have no space issues.

How is the tranny and engine better than what i have? I have a tbi 350 out of a cop car and a 700r4 that was recently rebuilt, with a fresher np231 (upgrade form the stock np207), ford 9" rear (I will be doing wheel bearings and new brakes soon) my wheelbase is 125" which is close to a standard cab 3/4ton chevy if not longer. It's not like its an under powered pansy by any means, I guess it's mainly the frame and suspension that are not suitable on my rig for towing.:looser: and the fact it's a chevy:redneck:

FYI, the rig in question of towing is a luv body w/ tube, on a shortened/stripped surburban chassis...
