NUMBER DUMMY OR MONTANA!!!! Need help!

Hey guys, I am at school right now so I can't take the measurement myself. I need the width of the front axle from hub to hub. I've got a 1977 f250 highboy with a Dana 44 disc break front. I am going to pick it up this weekend and want to make sure it will fit on the ramps on my trailer. Could you please also tell me the frame length?
Thanks,

The front axle is 79.5" hub to hub, but if your highboy's wearing 12.50" wide tires you'll need to add 5-6" to that figure.

So, if your trailer can't accommodate at least 85" you may need to swap on some stock sized wheels/tires for the trip.
