I did some online research for your 1988 Mazda B Series pickup and was unable to find specific information for towing. Typically, on a 2-wheel drive manual transmission vehicle, they can be safely towed if the vehicle transmission is in neutral. On a 4-wheel drive vehicle they can also typically be towed safely if the transmission is in neutral and the transfer case is in neutral as well, but I strongly urge you to consult your owners manual or your Mazda dealership to make certain your pickup can safely be flat-towed.

I have linked you to a few help articles you may wish to look at that explains towing and the other things that have to be considered when towing.
