Question about trailer to haul truck

[72step]

I am considering entering my truck in a show about 100 miles away from home but I wanted to tow it in my trailer. My trailer is 16ft flat 83" wide but the drawback is it has rails. I don't want to screw my truck up. Is this easily doable in my trailer? The measuring tape says it will work, I just want yall's opinions/experiences. I don't want to drive it as the truck has been sitting stored for 10 years, not sure it might have some bugs to work out and I don't want to have roadside trouble in the dead of winter. Thanks...

I wouldnt do it. 83 inches is not even 7 feet. I hauled a 72 parts truck on a trailer just as you are describing and the rails rubbed against the doors and bed right at the body line. You have to remember that the body is a little bit wider than the wheels sit. Unless you have wider wheels that is.

get a bigger trailer. I have a large 20ft flat bed I use to haul my cars around. I've had a F-350 crew cab long bed on it before with no problems.

When I bought my truck I went to pick it up with my trailer, same as yours 16ft with side rails. truck walked side ways about an inch and dented the door. DON'T DO IT!

Thanks. That's kinda what I was suspecting. Not worth the trouble. I'll just axe the plan altogether. I really didn't feel like detailing it in the cold weather as I don't have heat in my garage.
