Remove the four bolts holding the u joint retainers to the front of the differential. Remove the two retainers. Slide the driveshaft forward about one inch. Remove the two bearing cups which were held down by the retainers. Be careful to not disturb the needle bearings. Fill the two cups with grease to keep the needle bearings in place and put the two cups in the glove compartment. Reattach the u joint retainers with the four bolts and tighten down with a wrench - not finger tight. Move the driveshaft away from the front of the differential, because the front snout will spin as you go down the road. Attach the rear of the driveshaft to the floor of the vehicle with strapping and sheet metal screws or some other strong attachment method. Reverse the procedure to reattach the driveshaft. OR buy and install a Remco device.

How do you tow dolly a 1966 mustang?
The best way would be to remove the drive shaft from the vehicle before towing. Many transmissions do not circulate the transmission oil or fluid unless the engine is running. Removing the drive shaft will keep the rear output on the transmission from turning while towing it.
When towing a car do you need to do anything special?
It depends on how far you're towing it and what kind of car it is. If it's a rear wheel drive vehicle and you're going very far you may want to disconnect the drive shaft. Other vehicles are on a case-by-case basis. Contact the dealer for specific information about your car. Often it's worth the expense of renting a "tow dolly" if you're towing a front wheel vehicle very far.

Not all driveshafts are the same but as for a rear wheel drive vehicle you can remove the bolts on the flange of the rear differential which will release the back side of the shaft and then just pull it straight out of the transmission.
