Well, I dove into it this week purchasing a 1967 M35A2 in Bryan, Texas on Gov Planet. It reportedly starts and runs without a boost and appears drive-able. I need to bring it home now and trying to figure out the economical way. Distance is about 60 miles. I have a 2012 diesel F250, tow rated to 15000 lbs. My first inclination was to drive it down at low speed, bring some chains/heavy tow strap or a tow-bar as a backup in case things are not as expected.
I'd really prefer a tow-bar, but I can't seem to find one to rent that will handle the load (it's got water tanks and winch so pushing 14000). Biggest trailer I've found to rent is 14000. I know this is at my F250's limit but I believe at low-speed for the short distance I would be able to get it there without issue.
Does anyone in the Houston area have a tow-bar they could loan/rent? Or a trailer? Or a better economical suggestion?
Thanks for any advice or help you can provide. I'm sure I'll be back on here with questions galore once I start to do some work on her.
