Well, I tow dollied the last one I bought from Oregon to Arizona.  The 
only suggestion I would make is to pull over after just a mile or 2 and 
check the rear drums for heat.  You may have to back off the brakes or 
even pull the shoes for the trip. The driveshaft will unbolt from the 
rear and pull back from the trans.  If I remember correctly, that leaves 
a large puddle of tranny fluid on the ground, although it has been a 
while and I may be confusing that with the puddle I left every time I 
forgot to drain the trans when I pulled the engine and trans as a 
unit....  Regards, Bill
