Subject:      towing

I was wondering if anybody had any experience with towing any VW bus or truck. I am seriously considering buying an old 1958 split window doublecab. It is in pretty rough shape at the moment. I am currently at college, and would like to tow it home (about 600 miles away). Where could I get a tow bar cheap? (uhaul?) How much strain would the VW put on the tow vehicle? What would I have to check before leaving so something like a wheel doesn't fall off? Would there be a problem of the wind blowing the VW around? I would have to traverse the 5 mile mackinaw bridge, which is usually extremly windy. Also, as a side note, I was wondering what parts place or catolog is a good source of parts for the older bus's. Thanks for any help. sincerely, derek harris
