15-16000 lbs will be pretty close but I'd allow for up to 18000.
Had a 75 IH 4070B back in the 70's, 903 Cummins, 13 spd, 38k rears, steel tanks, aluminum wheels, pulling a 42 ft van it would lite weight 28500 with overall length of 54' 8"
Weight and length limits keep trailer lengths down to 40-42 ft back then, most vans where aluminum. 45-48 ft fiberglass sided vans became popular in the 80's after the uniform law took effect.
Before the uniform law states varied in weight and length laws, KY, OH allowed 80000 lbs and 60-65 ft lengths, IN only allowed 72000 lbs + 10% and 60 ft long, Tn was also 72000 but only allowed 55 ft length. Don't remember IL's limits but they split the axle weights, the front dif being naturally heavier with it's power divider if you where near the 34000 axle limit they would pop you for being over on the front drive axle by a few hundred lbs.
The mill I worked at has a 78 White Road Commander they use for a spotter truck, 350 Cummins, 9 spd, 38k rears.
I'll be over that way later and will try to measure the height, just a guess I'll say around 10-10 1/2 ft to the top of the cab, If you remove the stack and air intake pipe you should be able to haul it on a trailer with 32-36" deck height.
Getting the weight distributed properly will be a little more of a challenge, it'll weigh 10-10500 on the steer and only 5-6500 on the rear, almost needs to be backed on to a trailer.

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
