'48 F1 Width

Hello, I have lurked for a while around here and now need some info on a '48 F1 I just purchased. I need to know the width at the wheels to know if it will fit on my smaller trailer. Trailer is 80" wide and 16' long. I am having a terrible time finding this simple info. on the net.

Any help would be great.

It has the Flat 6 BTW and I am reading up all the past posts on this engine that I can.

I haul mine on a 16' car trailer and it fits quite nice. I just measured the rear wheels and it looks like it is just under 70 inches.
Hope this helps you.

Excellent, thank you. Amazing how long I can search with various keywords and never find that site.

I was dreading the need to take the 24' tandem dually down to pick it up.
