1956 F100 what can it pull?
I am building this truck with a 1972 Ford 429 motor with throttle body fuel injection and turbo charged, a C-6 transmission, 31 spline Ford 9" rear end with 325 gears and posi-traction. Totally boxed...

What I really want to know is, is there somewhere I can take my truck
that will test the pulling rate and tell me the maximum trailer weight I can pull? I'm not sure how Ford tests their trucks to determine how much trailer weight capacity can be used, but that's what I'm after. If anyone knows the answer that I seek, please reply.
No matter what you do, it is still a 1/2 ton, short wheel base truck. Limit the trailer length to 25 feet maximum, and weight to no more than 7,000 pound trailer GVW. You won't be happy with a trailer pushing your truck around like the tail wagging the dog.
