Title: Please help me!! towing capacity
Post by: medually on January 15, 2009, 06:07:01 pm
Hello to my American counterparts

I am having a very hard time finding out the towing capacity of my 1988 crew cab C3500 dually with 454 auto. The rear end is very heavy duty with 9 leaf springs (and 1 helper spring) and was set up for a fifth wheel. I am getting it licensed here in Western Australia as a LHD vehicle and I need to tow large boats I have been told they are rated up to 6300kg but need to be able to confirm this to licensing authorities.....your help would be greatly appreciated

 If you need to print off a copy of the sales brochures for proof.
