I worried that it would be too much weight but was told that with the proper set up it would be possible. Still not sure, though.
But, it does pose another question. What did they tow these 1950's and 60's era travel trailers with then?

pickups and cars from the same era. Key is the tongue weight. Most of those vintage trailers are in the 4-5K weight range. Most 3100 trucks will handle up to 4-500# tongue weight ok with the right hitch set up. If the springs are shot you can get newer with higher capacity.
