Dave, I know you weren't looking for what MoPar Norm and Paul had to tell you, but it's been said before; "Better safe, than sorry"
Since you said it was licensed and insured... have you seriously though about driving it to Pat and Wanda's? I know where Plano is and I've been to Pat and Wanda's a few times, not too far, if the trip is planned well. Just a thought! Two years ago a friend and I drove from Lincoln, NE, to the VPW Rally in Iowa, 300 miles. It took us 8 hours (we were in NO hurry) with many stops to keep checking on things and we had a blast! A story to tell for years! Now, it might limit you when you get there, you don't want to break anything if you have to drive it home! Then again, on the other side of that coin, where better to break down?!?! With a few dozen guys that know these trucks like the back of their hands, and most guys have some spare parts with them, and Pat has a shop to fix things up if need be. If there's no spare part available, John Foster and/or Sam Goin can make the part you need out of things they find in the woods. (No kidding, I've seen 'em do it!!)
Driving it there, even at 45mph, could be quite the adventure!!! Good luck!
Dana
