I'm going to pick up a 67 SWB truck later tonight and I was wondering if anyone could tell me how wide they are so I get the right sized trailor?

that is a very hard question to answer. Just odd sized tires alone, let alone wheel swaps (even if the look to be original wheels, they coulda been swapped) or disk brake upgrades...
get the widest wagon you can get.

My 68 fir on a uhaul trailer fine. IT was a LWB, so a SWB should fit perfect, but as LHM said, get the widest you can.

Thanks guys. I appreciate the info. I went out and picked it up and it fit the trailor fine.....but, I got a mile from the PO's house and a tire blew on the trailor. Two hours later roadside assistance showed up to fix the tire.....Damn you U-Haul. anyways, heres a few pics of what I picked up. Cheers

SWEET! Always cool getting a new project home, and when there's a good story in the mix, it makes it better!
