I'm considering doing this for my '48. It only gets about 10 mpg, so it's expensive and time consuming to drive long distances. I've considered trailers (too much weight for my 2013 Flex) and towing four wheels down (doable, but I'd have to modify the truck permanently, which I'm not sure I want to do). Now I'm looking at
tow dollies. Has any Stovebolter done this? Any does and don'ts?
I drove to a show about 120 miles from me last weekend and had to fill up twice to get back home. I'm also not too keen on driving long distances at 70 mph. Then there's the rocks and other things chipping the front end...Seems like a tow dolly is the perfect solution. My truck weighs 3400 lbs (certified on a truck scale), and my car has a max 4500 lb towing limit. I have a factory towing package with a 2" receiver and anti-sway system, so towing up to 4500 shouldn't be a problem. The tow dolly I'm considering weighs about 380 lbs, so I'd still be under 4000 lbs, even with the hitch, the weight of the dolly and the truck.
