13 with around a 355 rears on small rubber..Perfect for pulling,mpg and handleing..Well depending on the roads how your toy hauler is loaded ect ect..
I often thought that if i won the lottery i would buy a classic styled star car with a 60 series,geared as above..Loaded with lights,lotsa hotel type power,big assed radio,thumpin stereo with a huge bunk...Behind me would be a 48' fully decked out to live in with a cpl sport bikes and a roof that raises up allowing for an up and down stairs liveing..Keep the top as a party area..
Big time over kill but hey how else does a trucker wanna spend some of his lottery millions lol.. -

I don't see how you can go wrong with your plan, Mike. Sure, there can be mechanical issues with anything mechanical, but your setup minimizes any problems. That tractor will have an easy job to do. It will feel like it's been put out to pasture with the only requirement to run for a little exercise once in a while. Compare that to some of the poor lil ole pickups at maximum effort trying to tote their maximum loads up the grades. Your rig is on Easy Street.
I've been towing with a '96 7.3L Ford diesel for the past 25 years. It does a great job, but I don't tax it too hard with only a 27-foot 6K trailer to pull. I chose a light trailer because I don't have a truck like yours. Ain't got near the living room either. But my trips usually are a week or less at a time.
To make this CB related: I use a 62-inch mag mount Wilson 1000 stuck in the middle of my F250 roof with a little Cobra 19 or a Midland 1001Z to feed it. The combos work good all over the place for me. What you got planned for yours?mike5511 Thanks this. -
rabbiporkchop and Meteorgray Thank this.

All bets are off if it's been exposed to salt.mike5511 Thanks this. -
Height wise a ant will be beautyful on a mirror bracket....
Like rabbi said about corrosion but that can be cleaned and lotsa braided straps for bonding will certainly help..Being a 98 there should be tons more metal in that than anythin within the past 10-15 yrsmike5511 Thanks this. -
I'm not new to cleaning up grounds and running bonding straps, and I have an old analyzer that about half works. I figured on trying the driver's door mirror, hopefully with a 5ft, at least, antenna of some flavor out of my collection.
