That should be a great old truck for you and for the price you STOLE it. Our last move was MI to coastal NC which we did in a two axle covered trailer (sort of like a short car trailer). Worked well. I pulled it with my old F150/5L manual and it was just a bit too much for all the above. Explains why I have the Dodge/Cummins.

And you're getting out of California's weird legal climate (hope that's not taken as political).

Happy adventures!
