Should I tow blazer with C30 and towbar? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Just found a good deal on a '75 Blazer but it needs to be towed to me due to the brakes being out.

I have a C30 one ton dually with a heavy duty bumper, it's rated for 4,000 pounds tow(no hitch on the truck at the moment), I can buy a towbar at Autozone tonight for 70 bucks to tow it home with. If I stick to non-highways think it'll work out ok? I'll be driving like a grandma maybe 30-35 max speed. I know the weight will be a touch over(truck weighs 4500 according to Google, no back seat/spare though so that drops it 4300lbs probably) what the bumper's rated for but seeing if anybody thinks it'll be a major issue.

Also, since it's 4x4 do I need to disconnect both driveshafts or will just the back be ok?
