Hows does a 84 Dodge with slant six compare to 66 Chevy with 283 V8...torque, towing

capacity? I've got a 1966 Chevy C10 with a 283 V8, three speed standard transmission. I sometimes pull a 18 foot flatbed trailer. I have a chance to buy a 1984 Dodge with a 225 slant six, automatic transmission. I'm thinking these two trucks will perform about the same. Anyone have any other ideas? I really need to upgrade my truck as the 1966 is getting old and doesn't have power steering or power brakes so my wife has trouble driving it.
