Need some measurements please

Hi everyone,

Just joined the site a few days back. I am heading down to Flagstaff AZ on saturday morning to pick up my wife's High boy. Yes I said my wife's high boy. I have my 77 bronco so I'm good for now. She has been wanting one for quite some time. She even sold her 67 mustang just for the truck. Anyway I need to make sure it will fit on the trailer I am taking with me. Can anyone please tell me what the witdth of the truck is. left to right measurements outside of the tires? I know it has a 131" wheel base so i am good there but need the width if someone can help out. Thanks again

Tim

Welcome to FTE and congrats on the new rig.

Wheelbase is probably 133 inches... Overall body width 79.62 inches - tires come in a many sizes so a tread to tread measurement will differ depending on wheel offset and tire size.

Welcome to FTE!

We always love pix! 77 Bronco eh? Good to hear. For some reason where I live there are a lot of very tastefully, fully resorted Pre 78 Broncos running around. We always wave at each other as we drive by.
