Going pick up my new truck in the morning!

I'm going pick up my new '86 in the AM! gotta pull it 70 miles with a uhaul tow dolly which I'm not too excited about. Gotta drop the driveshaft and wrap the tailshaft of the tranny.. The 2 guys I know with car trailers, one trailer has a shot tire, and the other is being used... Then I go to uhaul. Of course they don't have a full car trailer... Just tow dollies... oh well, we'll take our time and I can't wait To clean it up and get it running right.

Good luck, be safe. And actually, those tow dolly's make for a lot better towing than you'd think. It's more like you're dragging the vehicle being towed instead of actually towing it. Just make sure it's strapped down really tight.

Best money I ever spent when I got my car hauler and winch. A lot more people are my friends now too.... odd.
