Stock bullnose f150 track width?

Anyone know the track width for a 86 f150 4wd with the alloy wheels and factory size 235/75/15 tires?

I'm trying to figure out if I can fit it on my trailer to pick it up from my parent's house (no motor in it so I can't drive it. I've got right around 76" on the trailer between the rails.

I HIGHLY doubt that is going to fit. You should be at 78-80" tire width.

Most car trailers are 82" wide for a reason

Yeah I tried measuring it last time I was over there, but without another person I couldn't get a good measurement. I'm just trying to get away from having to beg/borrow/steal a tow dolly or something. I really don't want to pay the $65 u-haul wants for a trailer, besides that, winching it up onto it could be a bear...

You're supposed to give me good news haha :P

Is the trailer enclosed or open? Track width and body width are two different things

It is an open trailer, but there are side rails on it that go up about a foot high. It looks similar to this trailer, but it's longer and has dual axles. I don't have a picture of it right now.

Chances are NO, it will not fit
