There goes another one!  Looks like we need to send a posse to Eagle and 
stand guard.  When will it ever stop?

Don

Always load the front end forward as you need to be sure that you put a
load on the hitch.  Simple physics will tell you that weight you put
behind the center of your tandem axles actually takes load off the
hitch.  I used the tiedowns furnished, but if you don't have them, I'd
tie to the front and rear of the frame and get some tension downward on
the suspension to keep it from bouncing around.  Finally, I'd use a
safety chain to make sure that
Truck won't go anywhere if one of the tiedowns should break of come
loose.  I used 12,000 Lb. capacity straps with ratchets for tiedowns.

Hope that helps.

Steve Ley, I read your advise on the Old Chey Trucks e-mail service.  I
will
be moving a 1949 3/4 ton from Eagle, Colorado to Austin, Texas in the
next
month or so.  Sounds like you have a lot of experience in hauling and
dealing
with the mountain passes on I-70 in Colorado.  I have a 7000lb 2 axle
trailer
with electric brakes, 16 foot size.  Any tips on loading, face forward
or back,
tie down tips ect.??  Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Don Hagans
