Richard,

Some lengths of old rubber conveyor belt are ideal to have between the tracks and truck bed, once chained down on them it will resist any movement.
I work alongside a heavy haulage business, and it is normal for them to do this with metal on metal.

Re. transporting, a friend of mine used to transport his Windsor carrier on a small Bedford TK, with purpose built body. It fell below 7.5 tons loaded. Much more convenient, and cheaper in the long run, than paying for transport every time you want to go out.
