just picked up a 46 it has what looks like a stock top loader tran,is this stock and need distance between outside of front tires to see if it will fit on trailer
Excuse me if I missed it, but did you do an intro? If not, we like to know a lttle about you before we start dishing out info and answering questions. It's just a common practice here. I have a '48 Ford coupe. I can't tell you off the top of my head the width from wheel to wheel (although, I think you'd want to know fender to fender) but we put mine on a trailer with no problems. I guess part of it would depend on the trailer. If it's designed to haul cars you should be fine. Post a pic of you car when you can.
What wheels are on it? has it be lowered? I just moved my 46 on a flatbed and the rear fenders front edges hit on a 8 foot wide trailer with 12 inch tall rails. I used to move the chassis alone on a trailer built to haul a triumph spitfire, 6 feet wide.
Here's the intro, since it's so important to the intro police... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=UBB1&Number=287749&Forum=All_Forums&Words=4549&Match=Username&Searchpage=0&Limit=25&Old=allposts&Main=287749&Search=true#Post287749 Top loader or top shift? 40 started side shift on cars, trucks still had top shift with a floor shift. Is that what you mean? don't know the width but the front of my Model A is 64" to the outside of the tires and it is wider than the rear i took outa the 82 Volvo, also will depend on if it has stock wheels.....
what i've got is a const trailer, the fenders are on the inside,if the front tires fit between them it will be alright,the tran shifts on the top like a truck but the floor looks like it was made like it is not cut,the car is from mexico
I'd be more concernced with getting it home than if the******* is the correct*******. Even after you get it to the house its a long ways to Pebbel Beach. I've hauled 'em with the wheels hangin' off the sides of the trailer. Pain in the***** but it can be done. Bring some timbers just in case. If your trailer is 7-8 feet wide you shouldn't have a problem. Gwetting pasy t the fenders might be a pain but you can always jack it up and move the wheels over the fenders, then prop the chassis on the timbers to haul it.
