On yesterdays Paul Harvey, as he always endorses chevies heavily,
He told a good story about a 46 chevy pickup. Stated that for
a promotional event, a 46 chevy pickup was driven totally across the
United States to boast about its reliablity, and to brag of its pulling
ability, The same truck was driven up Pikes Peak with a 5-ton load.
With only a broken fan belt being the only item had to be replaced
during the entire adventure... No problem with the cross country trip,
but is 5 ton a doable load to pull? Wayne
