Air bags and towing?

[1972]

[random useless thoughts]

Here's the deal: I have a K20 (5600 pounds) that I want to haul around on a goose neck trailer, but buying a newer 3/4 ton truck can't happen right now. So, time to improvise. I have a coil spring long bed C10 that I could use to tow it. I want to put some air bags on the back instead of coils, a small electric compressor under the hood, and a couple tanks under the bed. I have a couple concerns though.

1. Will the air bags handle the extra weight?

2. How much weight can my 1/2 ton rear axle handle?

3. Will I still have my current ride height or will it sit lower?

4. My truck only weighs 4100 pounds. Is this enough weight to control that much weight behind me?
