I have 1500 with 305D, 4 sp trans, orig carb and points. Our camper weighs 3000 lbs and 9 feet tall, so it catches a lot of wind. Due to the height of our camper I wouldn't want to tow much more weight on the highway. Even in KS.

Now, originally I had 4.56 rear end, but I installed 3.54 several years back, which was great, even with my car trailer. But with our new camper last year I changed to 4.10 and that seemed to help.
