Sure..........best way is to remove the axles, then put the front of the
vanagon on the two dolly.
As you may know you absolutely can't tow it with the axles turning, if it
has an automatic trans.

Personally I can't stand to part out a good vanagon.  If it's rusted or
smashed, that's one thing .......
but if the body is good...........sometimes I even have running parts vans.

congrats on your new vanagon acquisition !
How many will you have after getting this one ?
