Hopefully Nacho74R/T is okay after the bombings.

I'm doing the same things now as I did when I was 20 years old, when you stop doing things you are letting the old man in.

Eventually, the day will likely come when your mind says "do it" but your body says "uh-uh".

On a trailer? I'd be more worried about the tow rig, what's it gonna be?

How does Mopar flex compare to a chevy full frame on rubber bushings? I have been at car shows having this discussion and the chevy guys think uni-body is inferior.

The body on frame cars flex more because it is not a direct, solid connection to the body. The rubber mounts flex, the frame flexes, the body flexes. Look at how the rubber isolated Mopars from 1973 and later compared to the 1972 and earlier models.
Unibody setups make use of the firewall, rocker panels and roof to reinforce the floor, much like a roll bar.

Last year while in Carlisle, I talked about a cross country road trip from home in California to Pennsylvania and back.
The car would make it but at what cost?
The closer to stock, the better in terms of reliability and parts replacement should anything happen during it all.
I am optimistic to a fault though. I often think that most people are nice, most situations will work out. Being this way can sometimes lead me to make plans that go awry because I didn't expect it to be a problem. It makes sense to bring some replacement parts that may not be on the shelves of auto parts stores along the way, I always do that.
You'd be wise to bring an alternator, voltage regulator, some segments of wiring to fix anything that may fail like fusible links or spark plug wires.

My, how time flies.  We're talking a 4k mile round trip to do this (on a trailer I'd guess) and a 4-thousand foot elevation change.  What could happen?
