Overweight Toad?
So I just noticed yesterday that my tow hitch says max 3500 lbs. With my tow dolly and car, I'm going to be up around 4200 lbs. Is that too much? I know there has to be some wiggle room in that 350...

I wouldn't think twice about only 700lbs. It won't be a "danger" thing in this instance, more of a long term stress issue. If 700lbs snaps the hitch, it was bad from the beginning.
But you are talking a Chevy 454 engine and a P30 chassis with frame extensions. That tells me that it is a old Class A, maybe 20 plus years old. That is a long term stress issue, and maybe even, a rust/corrosion issue that has already happened! And your saying it okay and not a danger thing??? I've seen cracked and broken frames on class 8 tractors. It doesn't take much where metal stress and age is a factor.
