Those pictures aren't my truck. Looks like whoever owns it would have to pull the tires off and roll it on on floor jacks or dollies. For my truck the answer is the same way I put it into the garage. in pieces!!
I'm building it in my driveway. When the city complains about it I tear it apart and pile the parts in my tiny garage.

hahah i have a funny story about that
me and my dad just built a garage off the side of my barn just for the truck so we finished except the door and pulled it in, would'nt you know it, it was a foot to short so we had to build an extension for it
so till this day me and my da still blame each othern for who measured the truck and marked the area for the garage because it was less than legal with no permit so it was a rush job lol

55 F250 back yard build 4x4 ... mines done with 75 F250 parts ...HD dana 60 front... dana 60 rear.. NP 205 transfer case,,, 75 is the last yr the frame width is the same as the 53 and later trucks .. thats the last of the closed ball front axels to i think ..welded some steel plated to the Ubolt spring top plates to make the spring/u-bolts for the slightly wider front leaf mounts of the 75 axel,, it's a all bolt on job,, no new holes needed in the frame .. and yes i kept all the orig parts ,,for the steering i mated a junkyard orig steering link from the steering box to the 75s steering link //cause of the larger size taper socket of the later steering ... slid tube over shaft ,,, welded shafts ,, slid tube over weld and welded that on both ends as well .. driveshafts cut to fit was the only other thing i had a shop do ...paid 600 for both axels and T case,driveshafts,,, about 75 per DS to cutdown as i recall .. whole job was under a grand not counting the thumb i smashed flat with a 4 lb sledge driving out rivets from the 75s frame/T case cross member ,,, the scrapper i got it all from was nice enough to cut out the frame section with the T case crossmember from the doner truck ,,
