1974 Highboy

I have a 76 highboy with a 77 crewcab body on it-it has a 460 spd stick-this is the bush truck on 42" iroks-works great-

Now-I need a truck to pull the bush truck out to the bush so I don't wear out my 2000 dollar iroks on the highway-
the truck I am looking at is a 74 highboy with a mint 77 crewcab body-it has the 4sp std but with only a inline 6 cyl-I drove it-definately not a reving machine but who has used this truck for towing around 7000 lbs-will it do it or will i have to do it in first gear!?!

All depends on how far you have to go...? And is the truck free rolling - no sticky brakes, bad bearings etc.
