It may very by state, but if GCVW isn't over 26K, it's not a CDL rig (at least here). Now, if you have a one ton (about 11K) and a tandem gooseneck (14K) you are still legal. However, get a tandem dual (20K) and you will need a CDL to drive it (empty or loaded, 3/4 ton or 1 ton).

Best bet, go to a local weigh station and ask what the state's requirements are.

And the others are right, brakes are more important than power. Going isn't a problem, old trucks commonly had 6 cylinder engines. When that car jumps out in front of you is when your choice is determined to be good or bad...
