Gary,
Today, you see mostly pickups pulling 5th wheels, but there was a day 
when real trailer pullers had either a Travelall or a Suburban. We had a 
Travelall (see my web site) that we used to pull our trailer and to 4 WD. 
We were, I am sure, one of the few to use their tow vehicle for 4 
Wheeling. 

Prior to us getting our Travelall, I suffered from tow-vehicle envy to an 
awesome extent every time I saw a Travelall. Personally, I always liked 
the looks of the older models better than the one we had. Obviously, the 
one you are looking at was put together to do trailer pulling. This 
probably didn't hurt the vehicle at all. 

We camped next to one of these Travelalls in the desert one time. He had 
PTO powered on-board air, a small lathe in the back, a PTO powered 
welder, air chucks at each corner of the vehicle, and tools, tools, 
tools. 

If it's in any kind of shape the price is right, although it will 
probably take a lot of work.
John
