towing 4x4

I have a 78' swb 4x4, 400m, np435 tranny(4 speed), np205 tcase. My question is, what is the proper way to tow this vehicle without damaging parts.

Thanks, Wallyford

Under 35 mph, put the t-case and tranny in neutral, over 35mph, disconnect the driveshafts from the axles. If you tow it for more than, say, 20 miles, remove the driveshafts no matter what speed.
