Tailgate capacity of a 4x4 Silverado (Quincy 390 compressor)

Ignoramus2902 · 2009-03-27T16:20:32+00:00

I need to transport a Quincy 390 compressor in my pickup truck. (This390 was a kind of the spur of the moment deal, and my trailer is atthat guy's place already loaded with two other compressors so I cannotuse it).This Quincy 390 looks similar to ebay item 260365049814, and weighsabout between 1,680 and 2,010 lbs per Quincy brochure, depending ontank size which I do not remember.I am concerned that in my truck bed, its rear legs may have to standon my tailgate and I am concerned about the tailgate's capacity. My pickup truck is a 4x4 Silverado. Any ideas whether about 1,000 lbson two legs, is too much for it (which seems to be the case). I do not want to get in any sort of road trouble. i

I have replaced a LOT of cables on various breeds of truck. I much preferred the older flat steel links used until the mid 80's.
