Rolling on stock 16's with some fifties vintage aftermarket beauty rings. She's not all show girl, but more of a working girl. She gets used to move hay, furniture and engines regularly. I hauled 1260 pounds of Hardi plank siding drops to disposal several years ago with her and barely broke a sweat.

I tell folks all the time my 1949 3600 is a daily driver stock with a 217ci and used to move multiple things and yes without breaking a sweat. They don't make them like that/this anymore.
Keep on trucking!!
