Idk if I was over the legal length of 75 ft or not. But it was close. Here in ND, can pull two bumper hitch trailers if, the first one has trailer brakes, the second is less than 3000 pounds, and under 75 ft total length.


I had one HP pass me, and I passed another, and they didn't look twice, so I must have been ok in their eyes.

Was kinda spooky every once in a wild tho, was windy out and that back camper would start to sway pritty good. Had to stay about 55 mph to keep it from going nuts. But when I pulled just mine I ran 65-70.

Thanks, I have a line on a 92-97 f250 460 4x4 ZF 5speed.


I told the guy $600 without seeing it. He says it runs but won't hold water. Thinks its a freeze plug. Waiting for him to decide if it's a fair price.

Yup for shiggles and gits i called them up for a quote one day. I think i was up to around $6500 for a pro rock 60 front with a detroit and 35sp outers- otherwise nothing fancy except the housing

Damn, that's a lot of money for a couple axles. LOL. The van is pretty cool Dave. I don't think I've seen any 4x4 vans around here, much less a '79 E250.

Thanks, there are a couple running around this area, but most have a D44 HD front and 351w.

Found out E250 vans that came factory with a Full floater rear axle share the same frame as a E350. So I basically have a 350 now.
