to travel pulling a short 5th wheel travel trailer? I know it would have to be pretty short for weight reasons. Put say a 6.2 Diesel in it with 2 smallish turbos.

A similar span of Ranchero's would all just be unibodied,right?

I just enjoy the looks of older vehicles, and this seemed like a nice way to travel
in class.

The mind is burning 'cause I know where a clean '68 Elkie with no rust is only
$1,600. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How short a trailer, or more of a vintage issue with newer trailers weighing less?
