Yep, you need an 8.1L big block gasser, and put on a supercharger or a couple of turbos ;'D that would be quite the rig with a shift kit in it at a truck pull. Yor dad's truck has more motor in it than my truck, I got the 200hp Vortec 4.3L V6 in a 1996 Chevy 1500 4x4, I pull a 7'x16' flatbed with up to a 6,000lb tractr on it. My truck also has 3:73 gears and a 5spd. At 6,000lbs, thats alittle more than my truck wants and if I moved that tractor around much, I'd want a heavier pickup. Depends on how often you are going to be towing that tractor around, if it's only going to be a couple times a year, then you'd best try to get by with a lesser truck so it won't cost you a fortune when your just riding around. Diesels are very expensive to buy, the fuel is more money, and even the registration fees are considerably more in this state.
