The front tires, edge to edge measure just barely over 6 feet. So it will FIT on the dolly.

The only reason I lean away from a tow bar is the counter steer issue. Last thing I need it to be dragging this truck back and the wheels move on their own. Granted I will probably throw my friend or fiance back there to "drive" the truck on the in town parts.

I know the '49 doesn't have brakes. It would possibly be an easy fix and one i might do. If I can get it running reliably before we leave the farm I will use my truck as a chase truck if the towing doesn't work. But I always want options.

Hope for the best but ALWAYS expect the worst.
