I need to move my '76 Cherokee that has the "wide" 1 Ton Chevy axles underneath it.

What I need to know is will it fit on a tow dolly? Or do I need the flat bad car hauler?

EDIT : There is no power train in it whatsoever right now and it will only be towed inner-city

Thanks :thumbsup:

My guess is that if you have anything other than factory stock tires and wheels it won't fit.

Well to put it into perpspective a W/T Chero w/stock tires will barely fit on an Auto Transport.

It won't fit on a tow dolly, but even if it did, I wouldn't go that route. Too much weight to not have brakes.
It -should- fit on a transport, my 70 F100 parts truck fit on one just fine with stock wheels and tires, and Fords are generally wider than their GM counterparts. It will be a pain to tow, since it will be very close to being balanced, and may sway pretty bad.

The narrow track FSJ's will fit on either the older narrow and the newer wider uhaul trailers. The widetrack in stock form will fit the newer wider uhaul trailers.

Not sure about yours, would have to measure your track width from the outside of the tires and go from there.

How wide would that be?? Because below is a quote from U-haul's website regarding flat bed transports :
The vehicle being towed:

Must not weigh in excess of 4,000 lbs.
Must have a maximum outside-to-outside tire width of 79.25"
Note: outside tire width over 75" must use late-model U-Haul Auto Transport (identifiable by silver galvanized color).
Must have a maximum wheelbase (distance from front axle to rear axle, usually posted on the driver's side door jamb) of 133 inches.
Low-hanging equipment on the vehicle being towed such as spoilers, air dams, ground effects, etc., may be damaged by contact with the Auto Transport during loading and unloading. Make sure there is enough clearance for these items.Thanks again guys!! :thumbsup:

Another tidbit of info on their Tow Dollys :


The vehicle being towed:


Must not weigh in excess of 3,450 lbs. if it is front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, and 3,900 lbs. if it is rear-wheel drive or four-wheel drive
Must have a maximum outside-to-outside tire width of 72"
Must not exceed a body width (at the doors) of 75"
Note: body widths over 72" must use late-model U-Haul Tow Dolly (identifiable by silver galvanized color)
