Hi all!

I found a 1988 Raider parts truck with a bad motor and possibly a bad tranny for cheap. It's 50.2 miles from my house and I need to tow it home. My tow vehicle is a 400 horsepower Trailblazer with a Class III 2 inch receiver. There is also a wiring pigtail sitting in the glovebox, although I haven't tried to hook it up yet.

I'm looking at flat towing this parts truck to my house. There is a harbor freight tools down the street from me and I though of picking up some things from them and getting ready to set this up.

I wanted to make sure that a 5 speed SWB that will go into neutral and has a T-Case that will go into neutral will be okay to flat tow. Anyone flat tow a 5 speed SWB?

Anything I need to worry about?

I'm looking at this stuff:
