I can tell you this, Standard C20 Longbed, leaf spring dana rear end will do a wet cord of oak no problem.

Doug Fir mostly seasoned I believe comes in at roughly 3,300 lbs.

Oak is considerably more.

I quickly added a set of HellWig Adjustable Progessive springs to the rears and never had an issue with a Cord 1/4 after that.

Original Drums (rebuilt) would stop me coming down the mountain. Oregon has some pretty big hills. Some fade but not smoking my foot on the pedal either.

Most people on here would agree the C20 frame looks much like a C10 frame. They are 2 completely different steels used in them.
