I towed my '69 B from TX to NH and back with all 4 down and the
driveshaft connected. That was when it had no overdrive. Haven't towed
it since I put the o'drive tranny in. I'd figured to disconnect the
driveshaft if I towed it again. Interesting, for that reason, to see
the exchange between Paul & Barney about towing an o'drive equipped B.
About towing from the bumper: I'm not sure that's such a hot idea
because the bumper is awfully thin metal, unless the GT bumper is
heavier gauge than the roadster's.
I had a local welding shop make up a 3" angle-iron "bumper" that bolted
to the B's bumper brackets and bolted my universal towbar's brackets
onto that. Was real handy too; I could disconnect the car from the
towbar by pulling two pins at the brackets. It looked pretty good on
the car too, once I painted it black. :-) I still have that hardware
if you want a pic.
