1985 C10 Towing!

[Zach079xxx]

Hey guys, I have a 1985 GMC Sierra Classic half ton 2WD long-bed. Its got a rebuilt 350 transmission with a shift kit that I had rebuilt about 2 months ago. It is powered by a 350 crate, which I am getting built here in the next week. I have a couple questions. A buddy of mine lives in Ohio and he wants to move back to Virginia where I live, its a 6 hour drive one way. He's a mechanic, nothing crazy but has tools and some things he wants moved. I planned on renting a 6x10 enclosed to help move him. Whats your alls opinion on towing, how much weight I should carry, things like that. And lastly if my truck will do ok with it. I'm not sure if I wanna run my truck 12 hours round trip after a fresh rebuild. U-Hauls are crazy in price! Would cost over 800 dollars to move. Then again, it would kill me in gas as well in my truck. Looking for options. The man I purchased it off of said he has had 1 ton in the bed before....

I attached a picture of the way my truck sat with 2 bobcat scoops of mulch in the bed and 1 on the trailer. It sitting sideways on a hill, so that might change it also. I wonder how much weight that is?







Ready.. set.. go..!
