Third, the real limitation will be the brakes. If this is a four wheel drum car, proceed at your own risk. If it's a disk brake car, consider upgrading to the 11" rear drums from a 73-77 A-body (yes, I am aware that the VC already has bigger 9 x 2.5" brakes). Finally, get a set of AirLift bags for the rear springs (as opposed to air shocks).

Properly set up, you should be able to tow 5000 lbs with no problems.
X2 and this may be a good place for the 700R4.
