Used to haul my 68 gto bracket car on a homemade trailer behind my 77 Monte 305 w/2.56 rear.:eek:
Trailer pulls much better behind my DMax though.:D

In the Mid 70's: I towed my F/SA 1968 340 Dart on a 16' Open with NO BRAKES and a Jeep CJ 5 with a Chev. 2.5 Iron Duke ( 4 Cyl. ) with a homemade hitch.

I was Stupid and it was Slow....But I wanted to race and it was all I had.

We first towed a open trailer with a Chevrolet wagon and then a Chrysler Town & Country wagon, and someone in the tech line said to me "I can see see that all the money went into the race car".

That`s perfect! Brings back memories of hauling my Skylark Stocker on a tow dolly behind a `75 Pontiac Grand Safari! Sold the dolly and bought an open trailer in `96 and still have that open. Haul it with a `72 GMC Pickup now.

I found the 1500 pick up a little light duty for my endlosed. I have always said " its all good until something bad happens then you wished you would have done it differently" I think for an enclosed a 3/4 ton is a must. Better braking on the truck and more spring rate. If you encounter an evasive maneuver or bad weather it will shine.

For the enclosed I just updated tires to a 10 ply and noticed the truck feels tighter and less of a sway feeling in the rear. Great posts and opinions on here.
