I’m in the nova, no brakes, no motor, it’s midnight and my buddy stops at a red light(no traffic), he’s got my stereo cranked up and can’t hear anything else as I’m screaming GO GO GO………..KaBLAM right into the the back of my el camino! Luckily no damage to either of MY cars…….we still laugh at that today!

Most towing I've seen in the UK they use solid tow bars so only steering is required. Usually a fold up one that fits in the van, a ratchet strap holds it straight, also means the towed vehicle is only about 4' or 5' behind.

My buddy and I towed his old Comet from Bountiful to Sheridan Montana, with a logging chain in the 80's. Coming off Monad Hill, I lost the brakes and started to pass him going down. The look on his face as I started to pull along was priceless.Just south of Blackfoot, a wheel bearing on his 56 Chevy pickup gave out. A guy let us use a bay, but we could not get the race off. I used some emery cloth to smooth it out. About 390 miles later we made it. Talk about sketchy!

However, using a pipe would mean you're either going to bend the pipe with that much weight behind it or you're going to turn the pipe into a lance.

I also would never have taken my hand off that emergency brake the whole time.

And to be quite honest I would have just had it towed because: 1) Towing it that way is illegal. 2) You put people's lives at risk. Something could have gone wrong and you could have pushed him into an intersection or pulled him off the road if things went awry with the big truck. 3) Much better time management. 4) Would have avoided having to do the repair which saves time and money. I bet that repair is going to cost WAY MORE then what a tow bill would have been... It's the same concept behind "You only drive with an unsecured load once". IDK, I just don't like unnecessary damage and expense.

Paul, one of the coolest old trucks I've seen was an early or mid 60's International 1800 with a huge horse box on the back. The interior was almost pristine, and the outside had one repair on the driver's side, but easily repaired. Unfortunately later that day the scrap yard crushed it. Two old truck collectors said that they would have bought the cab and frame without the 30' box. Some people just don't value history.

Just get some quick clamps and clamp a timber across the front of the bumper for extra cushion. Thanks for Sharing. Be interesting to see what this can do. Stay Safe. Stay Healthy.

Paul, weld a chain to both ends of a 12ft. Length of 4” pipe and use it as a tow bar , crude but it works

Everyone is ragging on Randall for stopping to quickly but go back and watch Paul. He's looking everywhere except forward. I get you checking the mirror from time to time, but just before Randall started slowing Paul looked at the side mirror, glanced out front, down to the key, then to the camera, then out front to see Randall had started slowing. That's on Paul.

Just finished saying the same thing elsewhere. I would have kept tranny in third or fourth with the clutch in so that I could gently engage the clutch to slow. Also, I would never have taken my hand off the e-brake nor my eyes off the road.

great video it's fun towing a old school bus .. did that 20 years ago also fun when loading a car on a tow dolly and the breaks blow out half loaded on dolly and you go over the dolly .. a front end loader came over and fixed the problem ..

Lol! Years ago, 'pull started' a brakeless '49 IH grain truck with a 3/4T GMC p/u. We were able to stop everything without the carnage though. This brought back good memories of working with my uncle! Farmin'...always a workaround. 🙂 BTW we were 'on the farm'...not a State Rd.

This reminded me of when I used my 79 Bronco to pull my dad’s 5 ton wood chip truck about 20 miles on back roads. We pulled this adventure at 2300 to avoid state troopers and sheriff deputies. Ended up blowing out the front driveline and burned up the brakes on the Bronco because dad lost his brakes coming down the last little hill before the turn for the property. I basically had to stop a dead 5 ton truck with the spare tire and rack. Good times.

If nothing else, try using a piece of pipe, with a chain thru it. Wire the hooks so it can't come loose and take up all the slop you can. It keeps the cars apart and lets them turn. Or at least tell Randal to stop panic braking... Need to work on that part Randal.
