Towing questions - again



Ok IHers,

I know this has been discussed extensively before, but of course I wasn't 
planning to tow a Scout then so I didn't really pay attention.
I'm thinking about trailering  a '65 Scout 80 4x4 to Utah in a couple of 
weeks. I'd like to use my '96 F250 Extended Cab as the tow vehicle.  UHaul 
says the heaviest weight I can tow with that vehicle is 3650 lb.  Does anyone 
know what a Scout 80 weighs?  I guess I could go to a recycling yard and pay 
them a few buck to weigh it but it would be easier if someone already had 
that information.
I know I have the option of using a tow dolly but I'd prefer to have all 4 
wheels off the ground just to be safe. I don't want to get to Utah and have 
burned out rear axle bearings to deal with.

Thanks,

Roy Ireland
