I need to tow my '87 K5 about 140 miles. Word on the street is that the do-it-yourself trailers at U-Haul aren't big enough for a K5. Does anyone have any ideas what I can do?

its not, and it voids their contracts if you do.
but it will fit with stock tires and wheels.
What are you pulling it with? Moving?

I have stock wheels but am running 33x12.50x15 BFG MTs (in case you didn't see that in my sig). I'd be pulling it with an F-250.
Try a United Rentals, I don't know how large the U-haul trailers are but I rented a UR trailer and the deck had inches to spare after loading on a '79 F150 with 33.x12.50's.

Will a dually front fit on one of those tow dollies? Like the hubs and outter part of the wheels fitting between the fenders?

Ok, cool. I'll give that a shot.

I'd say, probably not. I have used them for single wheel trucks and it is a squeeze to begin with.

Many trailer sales businesses ( at least in Dallas) will rent you a car hauler, even though they may not advertise. Just call and ask. I rent one whenever I go wheeling far from home. About $35 / day usually or $50 for a whole weekend. It's much safer getting the right equipment for the job compared to overloading a dolly.
