Lightbulb Opinion's...?

My first posting...I am appreciative for the help I am to recieve!

First off, I lost my Brother to cancer almost 4 years ago. He truly was something...My earliest memories were "assisting" on the MANY projects that he had taken on...My first lesson was the proverbial "Holding The Flashlight"

That said...His FINAL Project is my reason for subscribing, and this first post.
The Project is a ' 72 Chevy C-20 Longbed 402/400. I do not have much trailering experience except with Military Vehicles...and my question is the safety of towing this project with a Well Conditioned Mid 90's F-150 Supercab with a 5.8...a Tandem Axle Trailer with Brakes...and a distance that is a tad over 1200 miles. While I know the wheelbase...I am unable to find the weight of the truck...as that would answer the question of safety...
The Tow Vehicle has a Class 3 Hitch, and the trailer is close to 1800 lbs alone...

In consideration of the sheer distance...I ALSO have recieved bids to transport the truck to my home...the price almost rivals the value of the truck. (although my personal opinion in value is priceless!)

I simply wish to solicit opinions/encouragement...and NOT trying to gain assistance in the haul!

My family appreciates any help that we can get.
