Are you suggesting building up the suspension to a 3/4 ton because the wheel base is short? The trailer we want is rated for a 1/2 ton. We might have to consider a shorter trailer maybe go 20-24' instead of 26' but feel the weight of the make we want from Outdoors RV, will work for us. Just checking to make sure.
I'm suggesting building it up for the weight and sway, the Volarie was a very light weight car and it works great for a street rod buy itself but I don't think it would be up to hauling a trailer. I owned a 76 Volarie and it wasn't that impressive when it came to the front end or any other part of the car.
If you don't want to go to a 8 bolt setup look for a 7 bolt F150 or one that was rated as a F250 in the I think the 79 to 00 range of years.
