Yeah, I got that. Someone mentioned early in the thread that 1979 was the last year, but it was actually 1980. I probably should have quoted the comment.

So Erie PA got 92 inches of snow in the last three days smashing all records... Guess she's buried, I'll be wielding shovels n snow blowers next week. Fml
Holy shit that's alot of snow!
This is my spirit animal.
It took a bit of preparation lol
from a guy who tow's for a living that middle strap is useless almost and will have a short life span .
tie the axles down and let the suspension work .
if you tie down the frame it will bang and tear stuff apart and possible loose a chain / strap / or tow point .
other wise looking good .
and glad to see you got it from the snow home it was in .

That's a big ass load!
That's a whole lot of truck on that trailer! Nice looking truck though!
12.4mpg average on the way back loaded but the 6.0 was working hard
Yea that mid strap was just a little reassurance for lateral movement. It was negative 18 when I pulled out n I was worried about the frozen rubber sliding off the side but it did well even though the tow points in the front were so close to the axle I had to go over the cab mounts (I know another no no) but it was super stable it was just hairy towing in the snow when at the top end of the truck and trailers capacity
That's awesome! Nice truck too!Welcome to the 3+3 family.
I took my kid to his first day of Kindergarten is this 3+3, and I will picking him up for his last day in High School as a senior this year in this same 3+3.
Love my new mac's tie-downs!
that strap wont do that ether .
to control side to side shift you need to X the straps or chains .
running a rollback tow truck you learn this real quick in the slick winter months . at least 1 end gets X patterned so the vehicle wont slide around hardly at all .
good to see you trying tho and getting good straps .
most peoples idea's of tie down points and equipment scare the hell out of me on the road .
No wonder you want a new tow rig.
Very Cool!
