Kenny good one, always have to be creative when getting a trailer :D
you should be able to rent a flatbed tandem axle trailer if not from uhaul from a local trailer rental place, that will handle the truck/blazer just fine. They have trailer brakes, so if you have a electric brake controller...
one thing to note, they are now making electric brake controllers that can operate hydraulic brakes, the pumps are still expensive though (several hundred bucks) but its a all-in-one unit that replaces the master cylinder on the trailer and gets power from the vehicle. Another cool feature is...
i have pulled a M200a1 all the way back from aberdeen with my m1008, running a 6" lift and 38.5" tires the pintle lines up.
I had no problems pulling it, but allowed for a large distance to stop. I did try a few panic stops and the trailer didnt seem to push the truck at all. I wouldnt use it...
of course you want to have the m35 running before trying to start the cucv, and leaving the cables attached for a long time wont be good for the batteries.
you can search on google or the like i forget the model of the antenna and base, but you can modify it to be a semi-decent antenna, still its not what it was designed for.
Best to mount the mil-spec one and then get a firestick for the CB.
I've been DD'ing mine for a few years now. I"ve added larger tires to help with the gearing, last year I put a turbo on the truck for more power. It gets me anywhere i need to go, whenever i need to get there.
more specifically you can get the -20 (maint. manual) from the troubleshooting link at the top of the cucv forum, download them all and enjoy your manuals, they are like the GM shop manuals for a civilian vehicle.
