You can flat tow a 1952 Chevy Pickup. You will need to use the Curt Tow Bar with Adjustable-Width Arms - Car Mount - 2" Ball - 5,000 lbs # C19745. Then you can use the RoadMaster 68" Single Hook, Coiled Safety Cables - 6,000 lbs # RM-643.
For your wiring, I recommend the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267. This will give you a clean connection and then allow you to use diodes to tap into your vehicle wiring easily.
For your braking, I recommend the Blue Ox Patriot Portable Braking System - Proportional # BLU37TR. Then you will need the Roadmaster 12 Volt Outlet Kit, 20 amps # RM-9332 to grab the power from your 6-way connection.
Then you just need a ball mount to tow it with. I've attached an article to assist.
