This- -click- is my daily driver with a 1949 216 and three speed pulling my new acquisition home. It handled great on the 20+ mile drive home on very hilly and winding roads. It was under powered, but it cruized at over 55 on the flat straight parts.

I was NOT planning to tow that truck home like that and hope to never have to do it again without some upgrades.

If you have a beautiful restored truck, the best thing you can do is upgrade your brakes, ad a sway bar, rebuild your front end and steering. and anything else you can think of that will make it SAFER. Your truck isn't as easy to admire if it's in a ditch with a trailer jacknifed against the side of it.
