Tow my old truck away

Tow my old truck away

Postby siclmn [OP] » Aug 05 2011, 2:00pm

I just bought a 99 3500.
Is it possible to tow my old gmc away with this truck by renting a tow dolly?

Yes, should be no problem. If your not sure how to hook up the dolly, U-Haul or whoever you rent from should be able to help you set it up.

Depending on the condition of the '99... you may be able to "daisy chain" a couple few older trucks behind you....

I know that around here the price of scrap is up. There are a lot of people that will come right to your house and take it away, and even pay you cash for it.
I think the going rate is $225.00 a ton right now.
