Nice story Randell!!! I always wondered about having to push instead of pull!

Those tow hubs came in handy in 1979 when I raced my street car (70 1/2 RS/SS) right after I put in 5:13 gears and slicks. Well the stock axles didn't like it. I was flat towing at the time without the driveshaft. Went to a freind of Jim's and got the hubs, installed the axle and hubs, jammed on the emergency brake and towed home 2 hours from E-town, keeping an eye on that rear tire making sure it was staying under the car.
Towed that car with a 1967 Firebird for a short time! Not quite the difference between a Chevy II and an Impala, but still questionable!
