Would you tow with this? NOT MINE

Yup, more comfort than anything. People were smaller and didn't travel very far in a truck, so room and comfort were not a priority.
With a couple of modifications, it would make quite a unique and capable tow rig, though.
Front end looks like it has 5-bolt hubs. I would have to assume that it also has a corresponding light duty suspension up front as well. While the front end doesn't carry the weight under acceleration and cruising, it does see a significant amount of weight transfer under braking. I would also want matching rims so I only have to drag around one spare.
The 383 stroker is probably built to go 1/4 of a mile at a time, not tow heavy for hours on end too... I also would not want to listen to it droning away at 3500RPM for hours on end. Would a 12 valve Cummins 5.9L fit, I wonder?
