Need "expert" advice on towing my rig...
So, a combination of being laid off, relocating 500 miles away, and having a currently non-running 55 chevy truck requires me to get it to my brother in laws to store it for the next 2 years. He is about 200 miles away, all flat terrain, no hills or mountains to speak off. My brother has a full size, V8 Toyota truck (2WD) that he is gonna help me with.
My plan is to rent a U-Haul Auto Transport trailer (not a dolly) and use the Toyota to haul '55 down to GA. Does anybody know how much a 55 chevy weighs (it has a big block 455 in it)? Will the Toyota be sufficient? The calculator on the U-haul site does not seem to think it will be butch enough, but I suspect it will be, I plan on driving slow, strapping it all down, etc. I have pulled a small utility trailer for years with my S-10, this will be my first time hauling a truck on a trailer. Any advice and help much appreciated. -Troy
