Wouldn't recommend it at all. We had an identical truck except in 2WD form, with a 302 and 5-speed. The truck was 8 years old with less than 100K, pulling a tandem axle car trailer with a 1959 Buick on it, when the transmission blew. Just one more thing in a long line of problems we had with that truck, but it was the end of it for us.

6000lbs will be safe. I have pulled more with mine I have a efi 302 a/t with 37inch toyos and stock gearing.
