Fixing up an older pickup truck, part 1

These are great old trucks, I've got a 93 that runs like a champ. I've got the 3liter engine though so it's a little too gutless for pulling trailers.

Well, I suppose it depends on the size of the trailer. I know my truck won't pull a big trailer very well, but a smaller camper shouldn't be a problem even for a 3 liter engine.

On level ground I could tow a small camper but if I have to go up any hills I'd be lucky to hit 45mph, and stopping would not be very stable. Little truck with little brakes.

Yeah, stopping is rather important, isn't it...
