I just purchased an all original 1954 Chev 5 window 1/2 ton truck. It has the "torque tube" enclosed drive line. It's the manual 4 speed transmission with the "granny" 1st gear.

Question: In case I break down driving before I get the reliability factor up - can this truck be towed with all 4 wheels on the ground in neutral, or do the rear wheels need to be lifted off the ground due to the enclosed drive line?

Thanks !
