Default 1995 Dodge Cummins on a tow dolly?

Will a 1995 Dodge Cummins fit on a U-Haul tow dolly? I know it is not recommended to tow this with a tow dolly but it is for a short drive. We will not be going over 45 MPH. If the wheels won't go on it, then where else could I rent a trailer for tomorrow?? Thanks!

This would be a 25 mile drive BTW.

Well I got there and the guy said he could start it right when I get there, and it turns out the truck wasn't wired up and it would have taken an hour or two to wire it up so I didn't buy it... Lol.

For future reference it would be really tight. I thought I was going to have to try it with a 91 D350 but it had no motor/trans or front clip so weight wasn't as issue really. I measured a Uhaul tow dolly and it was 72" at the widest width where the the tire of the vehicle SHOULD sit. I also measured the distance from fender to fender and it was 77". When I measured the front wheels on the '91 they were ~73.5". It would fit if the tires rode up on the track a bit.

What I don't know is the width difference between a first gen D350 and a second gen.

Tow Dolly's are NOT wide enought for anything bigger then a car and you would be STUPID to even try to put a 8000 lb truck on 1 but that's Just MY 2 Cent's

Not all dollies are the same width and some even have brakes, that being said I wouldn't haul an 8000 lb ruck on one either
