You are going to like that 478. Tons of Torque. You won't have trouble towing anything with it. I used to drive a '62 6500, 16 Ft Flatbed Dump. I would haul 20,000 Lbs like nothing. I even pulled a fully loaded Freight Car with it once (Railroad didn't line it up right with the dock). I had the same thing, 5-Speed Clark with a 2-Speed Rear.

Keep us posted on it.
