Hi,
I am considering buying a '73 in very good, near original condition. I really like the aesthetics of this vehicle and think it's size would be fine for me. I have never owned or even driven a GMC, but plan on seeing this one next weekend. I have several concerns.

One is I am not a mechanic and don't want to be one. I really don't need another project in my life, I just want a vehicle that will get me there in relative comfort. Is this a reliable vehicle or will it require a lot of maintenance?

Also, I want to pull a small car or small trailer. I hear the tow capacity is only 1500# with stock engine and transmission and gearing. Can I pull a 2400# Miata safely with it?

Thanks,
Randy
