Here's what happened to me.
I have the 64' with an 87' front and rear installed. Went back to Kansas recently and rented a Uhaul car trailer to bring home my 38', minus an engine and tranny. Have a 98' Vortec engine and a 91' T_5. (Yeah, I know, sounds like something Johnny Cash talks about).
It did the job well enough, and actually handled well enough, but kept me honest and paying attention.
Got on top of Monteagle, after dealing with the idiots going up the mountain and pulled into the truck pullout before going off the mountain, and found the brake pedal with Way Too Much travel. You'll understand what pucker factor is all about in that case. I finally got down and made it through Chattanooga without killing anybody.The trailer had brakes, mounted on the tongue, and the truck had plenty of shocks and the hitch for the job, but I'll never hook up to anything that heavy again. After 20 years running around the country as an owner operator, and over a million miles under my butt, I can't remember ever being so stressed pulling a load.
I'm looking forward to buying a motor coach and sitting in back and letting Ma chauffeur me around for a change.
