Maybe they could strap it on the top of the bus. Would add 3 more seats.

speaking of moving one of these, I’m wondering about my trailer pulling it home. Specifically the width, just how wide is it going to be? My trailer is just shy of 80”.

yep, if I was getting just the cab, no problem. However, I’ll be looking to pick up the whole truck. I’ve been googling away, but can’t find the measurement for this year span. I found a measurement of 79.75” for a ~1965 F100, is that close?

Don't know the track width but helped a friend pick up a '53 in a trailer like mine with side rails. It was a close fit. If this is the truck hours away it might be worth renting a trailer without sides if you have those. I bought my trailer with talk sides and cut the back section down after hauling a short car and had to climb out car window. Wish original owner had left the stake pockets. Not home so can't measure mine for you.

The widest part of my 58 F100 is 77 inches. The tires are in a little from that.

that makes me think it’ll fit. It’ll be tight, but we’ll make it work.

Sold. And another one slips away, before I got to see how bad it was. Wife is happy, that must count for something.

I’ll keep looking. There’s one 5 hrs away, but I’m not sure I feel like driving that far…
