Since the bus is "nose in" and the rear bumper is
questionable, I would suggest you do not *hook* the chain to
the bus, but that you wrap the chain around the transmission
support and then hook the chain back on itself.  You may
also want to put a piece of carpet or throw rug on top of
the chain to protect anything on the bus the chain contacts
when you pull it tight.

I have three '67 buses, have had to pull them with a chain
from time to time and always use the tranny support for the
back with no damage.  Anything else you might "hook" to may
be too rusty to take the stress of pulling the bus out of
there.
