How long of a trailer?

How long of a trailer to haul a 72' wagoneer and a 74' w/t Cherokee? I have plenty of truck to do the tow and I suspect I'll have to hook up the gooseneck, but give me an estimate on trailer? I have access to a 24' lowboy or a 30' trailer with a 36" deck( loading on that will be interesting...) thanks, sugar

That's what I figured... Looks like 2 trips. Better do it before gas hits $4 a gallon, my 454 eats like 8mpg in tow. And it's 200 miles round trip for each. But I'm getting them for about the cost of the fuel, and one runs but broke tranny, the other the other has bad lower bearings, both are 401's and 90% condition.. Woot, I got a score... Unless the gas hits $5....

How about I tow one on a dolly and the second on a dolly hitched to the first. Would I need a doubles permit? Lol

You would need a letter from a licensed mental health professional.

I saw a guy towing some sand rails this way only it was even worse... He had one on a single axle trail, one flat towed behind that and a 3rd one behind that

He was out on the freeway... No idea how far he was gonna go but I got past him pretty quick!

Then I could add a boat on the end... Actually I am smarter than that. But I did see a truck pulling a 5th wheel trailer pulling a sand rail on a trailer pulling a trailer with 2 four wheelers one about 4 years ago, back highway 6 to little sahara sand dunes in central Utah. He could only do about 35 mph with the trailer whip. Followed him for 30 miles at that speed cuz I wasn't going to pass him. Normal speed limit, 65mph. He could of at least pulled over or stoped to let the 30 odd cars behind him pass. Probibly $150,000 in his setup, dumbass..
