Default Towing with T56??

Hey guys,

I'm contemplating a build and I'd like to use a T56 in a RCSB. My question is are there any clutches available that will enable me to tow? I'd be using 4:56 gears and a 30.5" tire most likely.

I'd never want to pull anything really heavy, 1000 pounds max excluding trailer. But it'd be nice to know that I could hook to something heavier if need be.

Thanks,
AJ

I would try center force. I used one of there clutches with my 4 speed in a 77 truck I had. I hauled alot of stuff and my clutch lasted a long time. You just need to use the largest diamete you can get for holding power.
