Unloaded height for 1972 F-100 4X2?

Post by Jbott »

It looks like the height of my truck (which is stock) is about 70 to 71 inches from what I measured. I'm getting it trailered to an engine shop for a rebuild. The shipper has a 72" door height (74" internal) enclosed trailer.

Anyone have the specs of what it is exactly? I'm just concerned because of the very slight slope going up towards the center of the cab roof. I'm sure it's less than 72", but just want technical data to confirm.

Thanks!

Give this a try. http://www.fordification.com/tech/images/bb70/p143.jpg Your worst case would be putting on rims with no tires and using skates to move it or removing the front tires and using a pair of floor jacks to roll it in past the cab.

Thanks. I ended up getting a flatbed to deliver it to the engine shop tomorrow.
