Re: August 1970 Consumer Reports 3/4 ton Custom Camper Comparison Test

I believe the article says the trucks were equipped per manufacturer's recommendations for hauling that type camper. Obviously, they were optimistic about the 307, though I believe it says from test time to publication time (overlapping a model year) Chevy's recommendation changed to the 350. I'd hate to see over 3,000 lbs in the back of my '85 C3500, let alone a 3/4 ton small block truck! :O
