I have a 62 F100 4x4 I need to bring back from the West Coast to the East Coast. Will this truck fit on a 6' wide Flatbed trailer? The truck isn't near me to measure it. It has 35" tires. Any and all input would be much appreciated. Thanks

 

I have doubts about it fitting. Your probably going to be better served renting a trailer from Uhaul, Penske or Budget. Cost you a couple hundred, but they are trailers that are designed to haul long distances.

 

Uhh, no. It will not fit.

 

Guy said his F150 will fit, but I have my doubts. It doesn't have the angle iron that usually surrounds the floor. It just has the wood floor so I was hoping the tires would sit on it, bit it isn't looking promising.

 

Uhaul is around $ 800 to rent....

 

Personally I wouldn't chance a cross country trip on a trailer with the tires halfway off the trailer. I think my truck (65 F100 2wd) wouldn't fit on a 6ft trailer.

 

Call Penske and Budget. I rented a trailer one way from North Dakota to Wisconsin for $160 from Budget.

 

That price is about right. However it is a lot further from West Coast to East Coast. Tires half on I could do with 4 log chains & 4 ratchet binders. I doubt I would have even half the tires on the trailer though.

 

Ive done some crazy stuff like that hauling heavy equipment, but not a few thousand miles.

Best of luck man. I still think renting a trailer will be the best bet. How are you getting out to the coast anyway? Im assuming your hauling a trailer there. You probably could rent a trailer local for 4-5 days, pull it out there, load it and get back. Just a thought. I dont know how rental places handle longer term rentals like that.

Where are you going from and to?

 

I used to have a set of skinny stock size tires to bolt on to my truck to be able to trailer it. It would not fit on my trailer with 315/75R-16's on 10 inch wide wheels.

 

I just used the tape measure method to get a basic alignment done on my truck before I take it to an alignment shop. With stock tires, my truck is 53 3/4 inside to inside on the front tires. Figure 8.5 inches wide on the front tires, and you have 70 3/4 wide, and that is stock. I wouldn't risk it on a stock truck with only 1.25 inches to spare.

 

Yeah it sounds like a right fit. I might be able to have some steel slabs welded onto the sides to account for the overhang of the tires.

 

If it did fit it would look funny

 

Funny isn't an issue. I can boom it done. My concern is having enough of the truck/tires on the trailer to boom down.
