Was your truck a 4000 or 5000?

My '62 4000 had a 305 and I agree, it's nice to have at least 8 Gears, but my truck only had a straight 4-Speed. I would haul close to 14,000 Lbs with it and it did surprisingly well.

No match to my '62 6500 with a 478 and a 5 and 2, hauling 20,000 plus with no problem, but in comparison, my 4000 was pretty impressive.
