How wide is your Blazer?

I'm trying to go up and pick up my Trazer tomorrow in IN. My father in law has a trailer, but the width is 6'3. The owner said the Trazer is just under seven feet.
He measured it by himself and the Trazer is not at his location. He couldn't give me an exact meaurement. I don't want to bring a trailer and end up driving it back 5 hours.

thanks

From what I remember, the front track is 2" wider than the rear.

Saw your trazer post but forgot the wheel/tire set up...

Anyway, mine with 10" wheels having a 4" back spacing with 12.5x33's BARELY fits on a trailer that's 82" wide between the rails.

I'd try to find a trailer that's 7ft wide before making the trip

My 70 was 76" outside/outside with p.o.s. aftermarket wheels on it.

Good luck, nice buy on e-bay.

Not just GM, all the 4WD trucks are that way.

You may be right, but who cares about anything that is not a GM
