The reason for the big weight up front is due to the front slide out bedroom here is a picture with weights and measurements below.

I don't know the details on your build but I just re read the weight of the trailer. Personally there is no way I would tow a 7500lb trailer with a 4,000lb truck built 40 years ago.
I have a 09 silverado and tow a 8500lb toy hauler and imho I'm overloaded even though the truck specs say it will tow 9K pounds. Its not the power thats the issue its the size of the truck in the event something went bad. A regular cab short bed with a short wheel base would never tow my trailer safely.
Be carefull and make sure you have alot of brakes....My uncle tried this build years ago with a long bed C20 with a monster 406ci moter. He used it 2x and sold it for a modern diesel becuse he said it was sketchy.
