Back then, they really didn't have the kind of "tow specs" that they have now.....
Now a days, it's more of a marketing thing between the manufactures more then anything....... LIke I'd hitch up a #9000 trailer to a freaking Nissan Titan..... Give me a break!!
Anyway, all you can really do is go by your GVWR and GAWR specs.... Those should be listed on your door jamb sticker.
Get the truck weighed and how much under those specs you are, is about how much tongue or pin weight you can handle. The rest will just have to follow suit with a 15 year old truck....
Those non turbo'd 7.3's are not known for being the best hp and torque monsters of today, but you should get down the road towing around a #7000 trailer pretty well......
Good luck!
