Need some help
Well today I bought a 88 Bronco for a good price but I need some help. It has no brakes so I need to get it towed to my house.
If anyone of you know a good cheap company that would be awesome.
Or if you can tow it for me, I can buy you lunch and a 6 pack of your favorite beer. Or we can come up with some other deal.
It is only about a 12 mile tow.
Thanks.

Can the brakes be fixed at the current site?
It is most likely the master cylinder went out or the left rear wheel cylinder went out.Originally Posted by mx'r

It wont be a simple tow strap tow the pulled vehicle is the one that slows down both. So a car doll is really needed. I do not have access to a dolly anymore or i would get er done for you.
You sir, are a specialist in the art of discovering a welcoming outcome of a particular situation....not a mechanic.

Contact blackford, I bet he has a Master that will work. Or if it's the left rear, just crimp the brake line off to get it home.
I know that. I have towed cars before with a tow rope.
I can get a brand new master for ~$12 at my work.

I've moved brakeless cars with tow bars before. The triangular kind. Fastens to two points on the dead car, one point on the tow vehicle. Not as good as a dolly or trailer but works if you don't have to negotiate rush-hour traffic and can take it easy. Just make sure the tow vehicle is up to it with GOOD brakes that can handle the added mass.
Don't suppose you have AAA coverage, do you? They'd move it for you.
