53-56 Dually width
I searched and search (here and google) to no avail.
What is the track width to a dually? Specifically from a '56 F-600. Mainly need to know if I need a bigger trailer to tow it. Thanks.
Also, if anyone has anything like this for a '53-56 F-600, I would appreciate it. Thanks.

You really need to create a gallery!
If you want I can go out and measure the with of the dual on my 55 F-600. I'm pretty sure it's the same as a 56.
Mine will be slightly wider since I have 9.00-20 tires on it....

I too can go out and measure....but just got up....so after my coffee....haha
I bought a tow dolly from ksmith --just for this purpose.....to tow big trucks,and it does.
I am preparing to tow my big 56f600 and use the dolly. I need to have the ticking adjusted and have given up on doing it myself.
The dolly will tow the bigfendered truck and is heavy-duty,and I just used it for a 56 on a 1800 mile trip.
I hopefully will remember to post the size. My truck is 172--0r 175'' wheelbase......BIG!!

I just measured my dual axle 1956 F600 from outside to outside tire rin=86''.
I hauled a few f500s and f600s and I remove the outer dual wheel on both sides--so as not to be overwidth...on the highway.
I just bought a tow-dolly from ksmith203 and it is capable of hauling f600s with ease.
I hope this helps....Bill

Exactly what I needed to know, thanks!
I think taking them apart might be a good idea, am I right in thinking you remove all the lug nuts, then take the outer wheel off then put the lug nuts back on? None of my trucks have ever been duallys...
