WC-51 width?

[citizensoldier]

I need a measurement of a Dodge WC 51 outside of front tire to outside of front tire. Trying to figure if it will fit on a trailer that is 80" wide between the fenders.

I just measured mine and I got 78". Good luck!

You gonna get that WC you've wanted, like, forever?

Thanks.. The manual says 83" but that must be the front fenders.. Natem! Can't tell ya or I would have to kill you. If Dopel would have got off his I would have had it on the road already.

79 inches outside hup to outside edge of hub.
Just over 82 overall inches outside-outside (fenders, running boards and spare tire add to width).
I transported a command car inside a Penske box van with no problems - but not much room!

It's going to be tight but think it will go.. Thanks guys..

Mine is 79". Remember, these puppies are heavy. About 5,800 lbs.

As long as the trailer measurements are bigger than the truck in width and the smallest part of said trailer are shorter than the wide parts of the truck you should be okay. 5800 pounds is nothing on the right trailer behind the right rig.
