Towing

Hi, all. I am thinking about buying a 1963 Town Wagon to tow my 26' 1960 Boles Aero Trailer. The truck has a 360ci gas engine and other than that, I belive it is stock. 4sp manual trans(3sp w/granny gear). 4X4. I think the trailer weighs around 5000lbs dry, so probably around 7000 loaded. Does anybody have any experience towing with a Town Wagon? Is the frame and suspension tough enough for the task? Do you think that it will safely handle towing this much weight? Please advise, as I am ready to buy this awesome truck. I just don't want to end up rolling down a mountain or getting blown into oncoming traffic. Thanks.
