Default Regency RST 4.8, 5 speed.....Can it tow a car?

I need to tow my WS6 about 3-4hrs to a fab shop. Can this truck pull it off, or am I going to need a plan B?

No reason it can't, its still a full size single cab short bed. Does it already have a hitch installed?

It will pull it with no problem, these 5-speed trans are low geared along with factory 3.73 will pull it with ease. But keep in mind our trucks are very light so a trailer and car push it around on stops and hills.
