Two questions... M35A2 tow bar and DOT 5 brake fluid

I've got to tow the new beast home next month and would like to use a
tow bar and a heavy duty pick-up truck. I only have to tow it about 35
miles. so I was thinking of making a tow bar. I already have a lunette
ring for one end and was planning on pinning the bar to the shackle
mounts on the 35's front bumper. My questions are how long should I make
the tow bar arms? Am I nuts to try this? Does anyone have any caveats
or hints. (I'm a pretty good welder).

Also a while back, I don't know where, someone said they found DOT 5 for
around $30/gal. Can anyone give me a name/address for this?

Thanks for listening,
Alex
