I want to transport my 1970 140 miles to a restoration shop. It may or may not stay there after being assessed and a proposal is made.
I can borrow a F150 size truck. I like the tow bar idea. Is there any reason not to do it that way? Who sells suitable tow bars? I was planning on using magnetic base tail lights rather than hacking up the electrical system.
For a larger truck I am looking at U-haul and renting stuff.
Other thought, I have a 1992 land cruiser. Towing capacity is 5000# on that. The 40 weights 3500#. Based on the '92's gutless ability to climb a grade at highway speed I am hesitant to try. I'd be sick if I killed it.
Driving the 40 on busy interstate highways does not appeal to me. The main reason for taking it to the shop is to fix handling problems. I also am not confident that it is up to the long drive.
Opinions?
