Very nice truck.......mine is the 6.2 straight six and she pulls well, I suppose if the gearing is low enough there would be no probs lugging a 7.5 around eh.

Hi Urena, yeh its a swine eh,......... I thought about parting with my old Cargo last year .....but if I had I reckon I would have really missed it. I dont give it a great deal of work now but it has come in very handy lugging my old vintage car around to shows, and now its 30yrs old its elligable for the vintage shows itself.

Hi all, well i have my old cargo working doing recoverys and taking cars/4x4 for export i have been asked by three diffirent people if they could by it off me (the answer is always no) it keeps up with all the other traffic i dont see the point in getting anything newer it might be nice to get a tilt and slide save me having to pull the ramps off. If anybody is going to peterbrough truck fest keep an eye open for it you carnt miss it with it being pea green. i dont know if this link will work but i will try its to my pictures on facebook. www.facebook.com/#!/photo.php?fbid=10200718964434283&set=a.2303671269036.2136465.1166877220&type=1&theater
