Is the "tow truck" for a super duty a flat bed truck? Is that correct? I thought I had read that unless the drive shaft is disconnected a super duty needs to be transported on a flat bed. Not sure if this is misinformation so asking now

Not sure Walt, but it seems that most wreckers anymore are rollbacks, The only hook trucks I see around where i live are repo trucks.
I always inist on a flatbed when I call.

I'm trying not to make a habit of it...

Edit: For the duallys you would need to pull the drive shaft and lift the front or use a rollback as you cant grab the back real easy with the dual wheels.
