Default Anyone know how to transport a 1500 CC?

The transmission went out on my truck, and I need to get it about 200 miles to the shop I want to use to do the 4L80 swap. UHAUL doesn't have a trailer to rent long enough for a 1500 crew cab, and they won't rent me a car dolly because of the weight rating on them. I was told that a tow bar might be an option like the ones you see motor homes pullnig vehicles with...Anyone run into this problem...suggestions?

Thanks

See if you can find a different place to rent from. I'd start here

First place that comes up

20'X83" CAR HAULER-SLIDE IN RAMPS (UNIT#117)-$55.00 PER DAY OR $275.00 PER WEEK.
