Mike,

  I agree with Stan.  I've moved two TR6s that sat for a long time, and I 
had to remove the tire, back the adjustor off, and finally tap the drum off 
to get the rear wheels free.  The brake fluid turned to crud and froze the 
shoes in position.  I wanted to actually see that the shoes were completely 
free of the drums - otherwise they might heat up during the tow.
I ended up using a roll-back, but still had to free the drums to get the car 
on the truck bed.

  You could use one of those trucks that lifts one end up and\/or uses 
dollys under the wheels.
