Newbie question

I have been looking for a Truck for awhile now. I have been trying to find a 47-54 in my price range that already had a V8 swapped in. Well I came across I really clean 1954 1/2 ton with stock drive train (6cyl, Man tranny). It is priced in the top of my budget. So my newbie question is how is it to drive a 1954 with a stock drive train. Does it keep up with traffic without a problem? I know the rear end gearing is not set up for freeway driving. Could I install a hitch to pull a small trailer with a riding mower? I cut my grandmother's grass every other week. I would like to eventually swap a mild 350 in it when I replenish the savings account. But for now I would like to be able to drive the truck as much as possible.

Thanks, Matt
