Anybody know the official proper way to tow an M35 with a wrecker? Since I happen to have the M35 and the M54 wrecker in town I thought it would be fun to set up a demo for the car show next weekend. I've flat-towed the M35s with another M35 several times, using a tow bar, but I want to hoist the rear end up like I was towing it backward with the front wheels on the ground. Are you supposed to use the pintle hook or the bumperettes or the shackles inside the bumperettes, or sling a chain around the frame or the rear axle somewhere? I have a super heavy chain with hooks on it that I thought might look good. Of course I also don't want to break my truck doing it wrong.
Just wondered if anyone happens to remember from their old days in the army or has a manual that shows proper recovery procedure for a 6x6.
