Let's see your old school tow rigs....
Here's my oldest one:
1984 Chevy K20
K20 translates to 3/4 ton 4WD
Manual locking hubs, 14 bolt full floater rear axle with 4.10 gears
TH700R4 transmission mated to a 350ci with Edlebrock carb and intake, headers (one side leaks somewhere)
Yes, I really do tow with this beast. I've taken 4 trips back and forth across Washington State since November. It turned in to my daily driver this past winter. I've racked up nearly 6000 miles on it since last June when I bought it.
It had some gnarly vibrations when I bought it, which turned out to be a combination of bad rear u-joints and a rear driveline that was too short.
The front driveline vibrates with I engage 4WD or run in 2WD with the hubs locked, so I only leave the hubs locked as needed. Now that snow season is over, I should work on getting the front driveline addressed.
THis is what it looked like when I bought it.
I started repainting it rattle can style last fall.
