Default Driveshaft removal questions - new member

Hi everyone.

I am leaving Phoenix, AZ this Friday to pick up a 2000 Dakota V6 2wd ext. cab from a friend in Northern California (near Salinas).

As I will be towing it back (Uhaul tow dolly), I had some questions about removing the driveshaft.

What tools (sizes?) will I need to bring? I know GM started switching to Metric fasteners, did Dodge do the same? Not sure if I will need anything special. Any help is appreciated, I'm excited to finally get this truck.

Thanks!

My 2001 is pretty much all metric. I'd bring a set of each and a breaker bar.
