Width w/stock rims/tires of a '79 HP-D60? - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

Jaffer · 04-24-2007, 09:28 AM

I plan on going out of town to try to snag a '79 Ford F350 4x4 and put it on my trailer. Will someone tell me what the front sidwall to side wall width of a front HP-D60 with stock wheels and rims? I'm not positive it will fit inside my trailer's wheel wells.

I was going to go get it just for its axels but from what I've been reading here it sounds like an un-stripped truck is a pretty prized item as a whole.
What's with that? Classic body style? The pic I have shows it's pretty straight and clean and might be better off keeping it whole, fix it up and use it on the farm hauling gravel or something ...

The pic I have shows it has a regular sized cab and bed and it has a row of amber lights above the windshield. Could that indicate it is a 'Camper Special"?Any guesses as to what engine it has?

TIA

OK ...
If that is too unknown, what is the width of the hood?
That should be close to the max width.

i can go measure mine in the morning. it should be about the same width as just about any fullsize truck though

I'd appreciate it.

78 -80 " - when i picked up my 77 f250 ( factory tires / wheels - it was 78.5 )

351m or the 400

OK, thanks for the input, guys ...
I'm off this Sat. morning to see if I can get a good deal on this truck at auction. Hopfully I can steal it for less than 1K but from looking around at how many Ford guys here find the whole truck rather than just it's axels it sounds like there might be some stiff competition.
