Please help me!! towing capacity
« 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
