Are the floorboard , tranny cover , battery cover and floormat in place ? Any large holes in firewall or floor ?

IF being towed facing forward these things can cause increased pressure inside the body to possibly " blow out " the roof material .

This would be unlikely if the top is properly installed and in decent shape .

Towing a car backwards is no problem if you have a long enough trailer .

I towed a 34 4d home backwards as it was missing it's floorboard , tranny cover and windshield . No harm done and I am quite sure that would not have been the case if loaded facing forward .
