1954 F250 Spec. Question

So I am doing to planning for my cross country trip. I have a 25 or 26 foot Enclosed Car Hauler and I was planning on putting the 54 and my wife's Neon in the trailer and hauling them together.

The wife and I were at the trailer tonight and she does not seem to think that both vehicles will fit. The more she talked about it the more I think I need to do some measuring.

I know the length of her car, but as the 54 is still 2 hours away and I won't be getting it until next week, I was wondering if anyone had any specs on the Bumper to Bumper Length of the F250.

Thanks for the help!

Cory

I carry my 55 F100 in a 20ft closed trailer, with the tailgate about 4 inches inside the rear door. I have a little over 4ft free at the font. the nose is about 6 inches into the entry door space. (and I am NOT using bumpers)

so, I don't think you can squeeze a neon in there too.. I don't think you could get a Smartcar in there as well as the F100 (in 26ft)..

the length appears to be 189 inches.. just short of 16 ft. without rear bumper.

If the neon is 8 feet or less then you'll be OK!

Just slipped out to the garage and measured my 53, it showed 18 ft on the tape so like Kevin said if the neon is 8 ft you might make it.
