Speaking from experience, depending upon where you go to rent, they may not
rent you a flat bed because they'll say the 53 is too heavy for your truck.
Good Luck, Rob

Where is the truck in Colorado? We might be able to look at it for you if
you like. Personally we use a trailer rather than a car dolly myself
because none of the parts are turning until we get it back home.
Sincerely,
