That's encouraging. I've read many different things. Also the tow weight in manual is different than specs I'm reading online.
So payload is the difference between gvwr and vehicle weight. And the payload has to be more than vehicle plus passengers and luggage and hitch weight?
As with any older vehicle, miles and condition play more of a factor than the "missing" payload sticker will.
If it is in good condition and not a zillion miles, I'd be good with around a 5klb trailer, based on hp and gear ratio. With that, better have an aux trans cooler and you won't be winning any races against anything made in this decade.
May need to help the ole rear suspension out a little too. A Sub is like a pickup that's already halfway loaded before you put anything in it.
Other than that, Vortec 350, good brakes and a healthy transmission......dog will hunt!
