i pulled a 1948 MD with a 1988 F250 HD 4x4 xcab long box with the 351W and 3:55 Gears. i also had a weight distributing hitch, electric brakes set up for a horse trailer and new brakes on the truck. I hauled it on a good sized car trailer across British Columbia east to west over the mountains. it took 17 hours for a normal 11 to 12 hour trip. some of those hills i was doing a maximum of 25 MPH. The MD did have a home made loader on it so that added some weight. i think your brakes and wheel base would be inferior to my truck but your motor probably isn't as tired as mine and your gears may be better. you are probably overweight legally too. also the M is too wide for a car trailer where the wheel wells are above the deck. i had to build little ramps to get it up and over the wheel wells and the trailer was barely wide enough. if you are not going far you may be o.k. i hope that helps.
