Help with towing capacity

Hi everyone! First post here!

I am considering purchasing the following truck:
1982 GMC Dually with 6.2 liter diesel, banks turbo kit, hi/lo gear selector

The owner doesn't know anything about it really other than the condition is good and it has been well taken care of.

He found out that the tranny is a Th400 and it has a dana 70 rear with he thinks 3.42 gearing.

He shared the capacity pic for it but it doesn't include (as near as I can figure) the gcvw or the actual weight of the truck.

It appears to have a rating according to the pic of 10,000 gvwr 3800 frt gawr and 7056 rear gawr.

I am looking at buying this as a sometimes driver but also to occasionally pull my 36' 16,000lb. Gvwr fifth wheel. I don't want to tow more than its rated for due to insurance reasons. I know with this 6.2 I won't win any speed races but is it enough to pull this trailer or do I need to go newer which have the more capacity ratings.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
