Doug's towing traveler

["Chris and Ranae Procyk" <procyk19@domain.elided>]

Can't help you with much, but two thoughts:

1) Why a wide-ratio tranny?  You need a narrow ratio for towing-- that's one
reason why the bigger trucks have the 5spd straight-drive.. 4th to 3rd can
be pretty annoying.

2) You may want to consider a narrowed TA Dana 60 if you intend to haul this
trailer a lot.  Might burn away a '44.

P.S.  I wouldn't haul something this heavy even with a Traveler.  Howard
mebbie will repost his useful towing weight guide- you can probably up his
totals by about 15% (Howard, what do you think) for the longer wheelbase,
but you've still got a 1/2 ton suspension, etc.
