I believe Slim is spot on with the GVW's vs gear ratio. I have a 79 1 ton 454 with 3.73's and 13,000 GVW is what I recall.

I've pulled my 28 foot enclosed across country with it. Empty the trailer is almost 5,000 lbs., had a 4100 lbs. car in it, air compressor, generator, complete 5 foot tall tool box packed with tools etc... Every bit of 10,000 lbs. if not more and it did a fine job pulling it around.
