For anyone finding this thread from the internet, I just bought one and towed it home on back roads with a F350. The previous owner caged the brakes out, and I towed it back 300+ miles. No brakes, just rolling chassis. I never went over 40 mph, and found that I had to take hill declines at 20-25 mph to feel safe.
If I had to do it again, I'd have put sand bags for weight in the back of the pickup bed. I had nothing, and starting from a stop pointing up hill meant burning out a few times. Otherwise, I'd recommend doing it in a dually (mine wasnt).
Final word. Don't do highways. Even with 40 mph minimum posted speeds, you can't go downhill safely at 40 mph.
