26' 1966 Airstream and a 71 GMC SWB 4x4

New toy for the family! Just purchased a 1966 Airstream trailer on ebay! (Always wanted a classic Airstream)

My daily driver:

1971 GMC SWB 4x4
-stock heavy duty suspension
-32" BFG's on ralley wheels
-Power steering & power disc brakes (f) Drums (r)
-strong 350 motor (headers, edelbrock intake & carb.)
-Performance rebuilt 350 trans. w/shift kit

Future mods:
-A/C (for the kids)
-Rear disc brakes
-trans. & oil coolers
-Maybe a 383
-rear air bags

The Airstream is a 1966 Overland 26' travel trailer (4100 dry weight). These are suppose to be easy pulls as the are aerodynamic, low center of gravity and have a narrow profile. I've looked a a few web sites and the 118" wheel base should have a 22' trailer or less.

I would hate to have to get rid of the GMC, but I do want to be safe. My trips will be within a few hundred miles for the first few years as I am a newbie and there are a lot of local places to explore.

Any input or past experiences would be appreciated!

Some pics.
