Wheel Width

Can someone tell me how wide the front wheel width is on a 1969 f350 is? My truck is in Fla and I need to know what kind of trailer to get.

To answer your literal question, probably like six or seven inches.

But you're probably asking what is the overall width, right? But then we'll need to know whether it has stock or aftermarket tires and wheels.

The better question to ask what is the track width and then on your own determining the effect of the wheel and tire combo for an overall width.

As original F250 & F350 with SRW: 16.5" x 6" or 16.5" x 6.75" (Camper Special).

Ford measures wheel width from across the inside flanges, not across the outside lips.

The track width is right around 6' outside to outside, but the wheels stick out on an f350 dually so you will need to account for that. A 7' trailer should be fine, as long as there isn't any structure above deck level.
