Default Re: Towing capability

In the almost 50 years I've had my '60 1500, I have towed some equipment rentals, as well as hay and firewood trailers.
These were short haul trips and probably all under 8000 pounds.
They pretty much felt stressed in both power and braking and required constant attention.
I just would NOT recommend towing that weight with your wonderful, old truck.
New trucks are outrageously expensive, but there are several that could do that job with ease, comfort and safety.
