Frist comes first I haven't made vary many posts so here is at least one. I live in northern philly and I put a hitch and helper springs on my truck beacuse I had to sell my toy.

I took the car to comblus OH and then picked up a 71 amc javlin for a friend and drove back. we got round 12 mpg at 65mph, we also had a 350 long block and a 700r trans in the back of the truck on the way back.

Then a few months later I took a 1950 ford pickup to new hampshire. Witch was very heavy, allmost 6,000 with traler.
