I was headed to Wisconsin last week to pick up a loader for my son's Farmall and just about exactly halfway I blew the front seal on the tranny of my 1995 F350 Dually Gasser. I got towed 3 miles to the Ford dealer...only cost $145...$5 a mile + $85 to put the truck on the rollback and $45 to put my trailer on the rollback's hitch and tow it too....I am in the wrong business. Whoops..sidetracked, sorry. Well the service manager finally called me with an estimate today and they want $3,350 to replace the tranny, they don't "repair" them, they just swap them out he said. My son is going to do the repair instead but I need to tow it to his shop 100 miles away.
I have a car dolly that is rated heavy enough for the weight but I don't know how wide the front tires are outside to outside to make sure it fits on the dolly. I Googled a bit and found out the "track" is supposed to be 65 inches (is that to the center of each front tire?) and the overall width is about 79 inches (must include widest part of body/hubcabs/bumper, etc.).
Well my truck is 140 miles away so I was hoping someone on YTMag would have a mid-1990's F350 they could quick grab a front wheel measurement for me on. I have the stock tires, 21585R16. Any help would be appreciated, I don't want to get up there Wednesday and have it not fit. Thanks in advance.
