Yes, it's not my first trial. I know many things can happen. I know about these trucks, too. If I can't get the truck in good condition, I'm calling the hitch over for both. I have spare parts. Things I will go over... New batteries, new whole wheels,check Alt/belts/bolts/ hoses,change fluids/filters/ driveshafts with new ujoints, check for air leaks ( needs to pass the limits), replace all the brake chambers, commercial insurance, one trip permits, check the valve lash... And what not... You get the idea. If you think I'm mad, that's a compliment.
Haha Simp, I couldn't find the picture but I did a similar recovery back in the late 80's and I recall being completely exhausted then too! Something about flat towing is unnerving and causes you not to be able to relax while driving. Being "on point" for hours and hours is the drain.
HAHAHAHA! I just had mine hauled from there to Dallas, TX on Wednesday. The truck was listed at Kessler AFB and they decided to ship it to Saraland for who knows why. Anyway, if you want to have it hauled I know a transporter and you can pick it up at my lot here in Dallas. That should save you from going all the way to the East coast and just make a straight shot to California. Still a risky adventure but I'll help to see your success.
Yeah. I remember flat towing from Woodworth, LA to College Station, TX twice flat towing a deuce with a deuce, each an auction VFD truck in the dark with tropical storms rolling through. Sketchy AF. I still rank that recovery in my top 5 memories of "I should have died but Murphy was busy".
