Chevrolet had a V8 from 1917 to 1919, then went back to inline 6 cylinders until 1955. People don't want to accept new tech sometimes.

Video shot in the Denver area, but Montana plates?

Yep, it's an IHC Metro.

Went to a car show in Monument on Sunday, and saw these 2.

I no longer have any of my 620 items, but according to the factory brochure, it specified 1400 lbs.

I have owned a 72, 2 76s, a77, and 2 79s, and I never checked the 72, but all the others were rated at around 1400 lbs, and I loaded them with that much several times. Most half-ton pickups are rated at more than a half ton. I think that is the minimum that they will carry.

From what I was able to find, Ford only built panel trucks back then, so that had to be a conversion.

You made a mistake, unusual for you! 620 load capacity was rated as 1400 lbs in the USA, as someone who has owned 6 of them over the years, I know that well.

That truck is looking better all the time, going to be too nice to ever leave.

Hudson I think?

No one in their right mind would cut up a bus today.

Must be fun loading bikes over the engine! 🤣

That is how stupid our government is. That expensive truck didn't have spring parking brakes, which all highway trucks have been required to have since the 1970s.

If I could move that fast maybe I could get something done! 🤣

The damper will only mask the problem. You have wear somewhere, or an alignment problem causing the death wobble. your safety is at issue here along with others, so fix the problem, don't just put a bandaid on it. When I had my Jeep many had the dreaded death wobble and the best cure was an aftermarket track bar that was better quality than what the cheapo Chrysler factory part. Your van doesn't have a track bar, but something in your steering or suspension has slop in order to cause the death wobble. Back when I was a youngster my grandfather called it shimmy and that meant a trip to the alignment shop.
