I have to go home and find a new home for my deuce. The storage yard is being closed due to upcoming construction on the Huey Long Bridge. I'll be traveling down to La between 13 to 20 May to get it moved. I'm going to try to finish the brake system repairs and be able to drive it to it's new home, but if that fails, I'll be needing a hand getting it towed.

Crud...:( Sorry bubba wish I could help you here but my Deuce isn't driveable yet. I rented a 1 ton dually pickup to tow mine back home from GL. You can tow it fairly easily with a dually.

EZ where did you ever find someone that would rent a dually with a gooseneck hitch?

I didn't, I rented a 2006 Dodge dually with a 6cyl cummins turbo deisel and slapped my pintle hitch in the class 3 hitch reciever and pulled it with a towbar.

I borrowed Mcinfantry's towbar (my gratitude to him once again! :D ) and towed that sucker back home. I averaged 55-65mph but for the most part ket it around 55mph for saftey reasons.

Be dang sure you have the tires aired up well. If they are not they drag and make turning hard.

Here is a pic of when I got it home. My truck is at the side and you can see the a*s end of the dually to the right. It really wasn't too bad of a ride/pull to tell you the truth.
