question about BIG GMC trucks

I'm about to buy this truck but I don't know a lot about big trucks. I have questions about brakes and the 270 engine's towing power, I want to use this as a car hauler for my race car.


Do these trucks have air brakes or drum brakes?
Can replacement parts be found easily?
Are original style truck brakes the best way to go with towing a car?
Is a 270 strong enough to tow or would it be better to go bigger.
I don't want to be stuck going top speed 65 worrying that things will start breaking if I push her.
