I don't see why a jeep wouldn't work for you. As long as the height's are right, and the hitch matches. I've been thinking of using one to pull a van trailer. Just want to use the vans for storage, and then drag them to where they need to be. I'm currently building a straight truck out of an eagle, and installing a trailer plate and pintle the same as you are doing. Make sure you build the plate into the frame, and weld it good and stiff. Then put at least a 6" forward brace from the bottom of the plate up to the frame. Those plates can bend in a hard stop if they aren't braced.
So is the old truck on camels or Hendrickson? Hope she isn't too rough. Those old Mack's on camels were one tough truck. Good luck.
