towing frame

Thanks for everyone that gave input on towing the 3/4 frame. I started to tow it with a towbar. FYI.. DONT DO IT, IT DOESN"T WORK!! The wheels quickly turned to one side or the other and I ended up dragging it. It wouldn't track straight for more than 6 feet.
Soon after disconnecting the frame, I disconnected and quickly went to u-haul to rent a tow dolly. Even though it was a $46.00 shot in the wallet, it worked well. I rented their standard dolly (71") and the front tires fit. The tires were not positioned pefectly in the cradle and the straps weren't long enough to snug the tires down but after letting some air out- worked just fine.

So if you are considering towing a frame and you don't have a car hauler, use a tow dolly, it will fit.

Thanks again for all of you that responded.

Did this frame have a steering gear box on it? Was all the front end comonents hooked up?
When i hauled the old longhonr to the junk yard, the only thing on it was a bed. I used my tow bar with no troubles at all.
