Chris,
Highly against flat towing these old trucks. I have done it long ago but not a good idea. (1) The drive line takes a beating unless you drop the rear drive shaft w/ locking hubs or both w/o hubs. (2) STOPPING that beast is a problem . Best solution for towing is a proper dual axle trailer w/ trailer brakes. For a 200 mile trip you may just wanted to prepare and take the drive. Only about an hour more travel time. Which would almost be the time to load and unload.
My 2 cents.
Jim
