You really expect to tow a 70s era 40 foot fifth wheel with a 250? Good luck my friend.
Oh wait do you mean your budget is 70s?
Thats a different ball game. But theres still no way your going to haul a 40 foot fiver with a 250. For that much your going to want a dually.
Whats good? There mostly all the same. You might or might not get a good one from any mfg. But I would start looking at Northwood Mfg.
