towing capacities

[just a number]

Is there any good place to find out what the tow ratings are for older truck. The stealer thinks that if you don't drive something from the 2005 and up, your not worth their time. any suggestions on where to find the info?

An R3500 is a two wheel drive one ton so your base gvw will be 85-9000 cab bed and axle config will make it defer. My 88 c3500 dually reg cab is only 9000 but the truck weighs more than that with just my bed and welder on it. The numbers don't mean a thing

I was just wondering to keep that legal mess in check

Well if you can find an original owners manual it will have the capacities and all specs in it. Ebay has them for sale all the time

the owners manual makes a good doorstop not much else. They tell you to look on the label in the glove box. how many labels can you read after 17 years of service. the label is there just not legible. I tried to get a new one but no luck.
