Hi, Paul!
My firebolt is a little newer, a 1961 GMC with a 351 V-6 and a Clark 5 speed transmission with direct drive in 5th. gear. I'm also planning to remove the fire bed and pump, and install a 3-speed Brownie trans to get an overdrive gear. It's going to get a commercial 5th. wheel, plus a gooseneck trailer hitch. I'm going to look for a vintage lowboy trailer to pull behind it, a fairly short one to haul a farm tractor, etc. I'm about 200 miles southwest of you, near Huntsville Alabama.
