Thanks,

Yes, Canada is just a little a drive.

I'm seeing 3/4 ton and 1 ton 14 bolts around here for around $100.
I'm surely going 1-ton. I might as well, the complete front crossmember I got from a guy around the corner from my house is off a 1-ton 79.
The only thing I'm still trying to determine is the best gear ratio to pair up with the SM465. The big box puts my truck at about 5000#. If I was to pull another one of these trucks behind me, I wonder if the 3:73 would still be fine matched to the SM465.
