Default M1008 in bed of M54A2?

Has anyone transported an M1008 in the bed of a M54A2 5 ton?
I believe it will fit and only stick out 4 feet.

Whats the wheelbase of the M1008? measure from the front bumper to the rear of the rear wheel - if its less than 14', it should fit. I know my Jeep Comanche long bed will fit and it has a wheelbase of 119"

Thanks, Yes it would fit ok and only stick out 4 feet. I would probably have to relocate the spare though. Did you make ramps or buy them or used a different method of loading?
