I have a similar set-up. A totally restored 49 3600 with a 261, 5 speed tranny, 3:55 rear end, reese type hitch modified to fit the frame. I pull two different trailers with electric brakes on each. Feels very safe. One of them is a 1958 canned ham camper. Gets lots of looks. wish I knew how to post picrures. You won't be dissapointed as long as you make sure it's safe. Dave V
