AMC-MJ Posted December 30, 2009 Author Share Posted December 30, 2009 engine: 379 V-6.......... 388tq@1800rpm. Trans: SM-420 Gears: 5.13's. Mike Sweet baby Jesus on a Friday..... I got a house that needs moved, could I borrow? :D :bowdown: Jeff you like that ? . . . they only rated it with a 14,000LB GVWR ! yet it'll tow 22,000lb's in payload perfectly. The 77' Ford F-350 has the 351M V-8, 235hp@3,750rpm n 415tq@2200rpm, granny 4spd, 4.56 gear's 245/70R19.5G tires. . . 12.5K-lb GVWR tow's 18K-lb's payload routinely . . . The 53' Studebaker M275 has a 331CID I-6 Gasser turning 127hp@3400rpm n 320tq@1,600rpm 5spd manual NO over drive and has 6.72 gears 11.00R20H tires . . . 36K-lb GVWR yet pulls 45K-lb's payload flawlessly . . . The 59' Mack B61T has a 711 I-6 turbo charged non turbo diesel :yes: , 315hp@2250 n 1475tq@1250rpm 15SPD-OD, and 6.38 gears 12.00R24J tires . . . 120K-lb GVWR yet pulls 175K-lb's perfectly . . . It's a toss up between the 77' Ford n the 62' GMC as to which is stronger from my experience they seem to be dead even, but if i had to guess it would be the GMC a the stronger one by the math. Math: 62' GMC 388tq x 5.13 gears = 1990.44lb's. 77' Ford 415tq x 4.56 gears = 1892.40lb's. I was told taking the peak torque times the gear ratio give you the torque multiplication factor, So there for the 62 GMC is applying about 100lb's more of forward force then the 77 Ford . . .

AMC-MJ Posted December 31, 2009 Author Share Posted December 31, 2009 :dunno: I don't know about that :dunno: . . . the Mack is a 2 stick trans, the Stude got hit by a drunk driver while it was parked so it's in need of some repair. . . I collector tagged them so i can only haul 500lb's . . . unless the plate is blocked by the trailer ;) i risk i'd rather i took myself . . .
