Width, tire to tire?

I bought me a project 1974 Bronco and now I need to trailer it home. I have a 6x10 trailer I can borrow, but I'm not sure if that's wide enough. The Bronco has 35 inch tires, any idea on how wide it is and if a 6x10 trailer would work? Here's a link to the auction page if you need a look. Thanks.

Mine is about 72" with 35's on 8" wheels with almost 4" backspacing. Even with stock wheels and tires, it will be fairly close.

Thanks guys.

Jason, do you think you could give me an actual measurement so I know what kind of trailer i'm going to need? Or anyone else for that matter.

A stock Bronco is approx 59" from WMS to WMS. With factory Ford steel wheels on 7.00- 15 tires, your overall width will be about 66-67" wide. From what I can tell from the pictures you posted, I'm guessing that the width of that one is going to be about 78-80".

Many thanks, you've been most helpful. Here's hoping I get her home this weekend.

Are you planning on rebuilding it or using it for parts?

Original plan was to put a 351w in it (that I have wasting away) and get it up and running to play with as a 4x4 and all.

But I've been thinking about selling it to get my money back and just buying something that's already where I want it to be. We'll see how good of shape it's actually in and how much I think I can get for it.
