Woah, I think you missed the point. bad_turbo wants to buy a truck, only have it for a couple weeks, and pull over 12 THOUSAND POUNDS with it about 2500 MILES!!!! My 67 was my daily driver, junkyard tranny with high miles blew, but it has a COMPLETELY rebuilt front suspesion, power disks, 350 crate engine, 650 edelbrock, 700R4...next tranny WILL NOT be from a 'yard.....when I did all the work I had small problems off and on for a couple of weeks, nothing major or expensive. I drove her locally and got the kinks worked out. I put 6000 miles on it before my JUNKYARD tranny blew. I ran out of money after I did the engine and front suspension. This was last year during my last year at college and I drove 400 miles round trip to home and back about once a month. I also drove it to myrtle beech one weekend, I think I put 600 miles on her that weekend. If the work is done right, and you don't use cheap parts like I did, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the reliability of these trucks, especially with all the new stuff your truck has. Drive it for about a month before you start towing and stay local. Then tow and drive away!!! My earlier response wasn't meant to deter bad_turbo from buying a 67-72, but to let him know that jumping in an original truck that you just bought and towing something that heavy, let alone driving it, all that distance isn't a great idea. I personally would do it if the truck I bought was full of new goodies like yours! Enjoy your truck and tow away!!!
