can you tow then down the freeway at 70mph from Bellingham WA to Portland OR
that is cool. i wouldn't mind trying to tow that with my 81. you would definitely need a custom hitch to haul something that heavy.

ya. my 81 would have the same problem. back end sit to high thanks to a farm style add a leaf kit. it would have a very light front end without the right hitch

ya. its not great but i know i could do way better if i would just drive like a sane person or finished hooking up my cruise control. next summer i am hoping to fix the bottom end of the 318 that is in my 91 and then put it in my 81. it has a 2 barrel carb with a rv cam so it get good gas mileage even with my lead foot.
