Most Chevy trucks from the 30's on could handle that load. Many ranchers, farmers, & blue collar folks used these trucks as one of their work tools to provide for their families well into the 70's.

The distance driven would prob be easier traveled in a square body truck (73-87) vs the earlier models just because the revisions over the years made them more 'car' like (power steering, auto transmissions, air conditioning, etc...).

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
