Modifying Non-Tow Vehicle to Tow

We found it! Our first Trailmanor--just two-and-one-half hours away! There is a "26" on the front of this 1988 unit. I am to bring it home in just two days.

Recently, I changed out the 305 engine in my 1984 short-bed Scottsdale Chevy p/u to a 350. Also had larger radiator and transmission cooler added. Anticipated the possibility of a fifth-wheel. I have not modified the rear end to change gear ratio.

Reference book at a local shop showed "standard" ratio for this truck. If anyone can guess what that is, please tell me.

Please also give me your opinion on towing this TM with this truck.

Thanks for letting me join up!
