Sounds to me like a 5th wheel El Camino (or 67-79 Rancheros, Falcon based were unit/body...) with a well built anything and 5 speed would work better than a bumper pull. Upgrade the brakes (plenty of parts and sites for that!) and make sure the trailer has brakes as well. I see no reason it couldn't easily pull something sized for mini-trucks...
