I am moving to Las Vegas from Idaho, and the wife says sell the truck. :mad: This is not good. We are getting a budget truck and I was wondering, if anyone has ever used a "tow dolley" to tow a 58 or 59 apache. If so, how did it go? Can I do it?!?

Towed a 59 longbed California to Nebraska behind a Ryder truck. 4 wheels on the ground with a bumper mounted towbar. Do not recommend this I also towed a short bed 58 behind a 3/4 ton with a 2 wheel tow dolley 200 miles. It worked fine and I would do this again.

I would get a trailer as advised. If you do it, take off driveshaft and feel wheel hubs every 100 mi. You will fling road debris/rocks at it all the way, so put up a barrier.

There were a couple very lengthy discussions on this forum not that long ago about this very topic. The consensus was that a trailer would be the preferred way to go.
