First off, if your tranny goes south, find a good reputable shop and tell them exactly what you are going to use your pickup for. They will then know how to rebuild the transmission so that you don't have problems in the future. I put together a ½ ton pickup to do nothing but pull trailers. I had a 327 out front, a 350 Turbo-Hydromatic transmission and 3.73 gears with 15 inch tires. I had my local radiator man take the stock radiator, pull it apart, and put in a core with one more row of tubes for additional cooling. Then I added a transmission cooler AFTER the fluid went through the cooler in the radiator. The radiator ran cool and so did the transmission. I pulled it about 35000 miles (most of it pulling) before the rear end went out and the body started falling apart enough to warrant buying a different pickup. By the way, when I got done with building that 327 it would out-pull the 460 Ford with 3.54 gears I bought afterwards hands down, and used 1/3 less gas to do it!
