I need some help got a friends 96 CC LB that died in WV and I'm going to help him go get it.
I'm not sure it will fit on my trailer so hears the deal..........
Got a 18' x83" 10k trailer and I know it will stick out the back and got an bull bar on the front of the trailer that the bumper will hit on.
So i think the WB is 154" and overall is 244" anyone know th distance from the front stock bumper to the centerline of the front tire so I can see where the tires will sit on the trailer?
Anyone know stock 2 wd duel weight split would be like 7k with 4k front and 3k rear or something like that?????????
Any help would be good I looked for a truck on the way home to measure but no LB CC could be found.
Just trying to help a friend that is a CTD owner and down on his luck if it will not fit he will need to pay big to get it down or any one here could move it for him...
FYI its a CTD 96 (I think) DRW longbed 2WD stock other then fry oil and a few small things. Its around Summersville WV now and need to head to Raleigh NC.

Thanks Jon

 

From what i can tell on mine its about 38 - 39 inches from the edge of the front bumper to the centerline of the front wheel

As for stock empty weight you would be close,, 4,000 front and 3 ,000 rear

 

Drop the drive-shaft and use a tow-bar---a good stout tow-bar.

 

If it was a jeep or something no problem but 7000 lb going through the mountains with no brakes I don't want to try that.

No trailer brakes or flat tow could = that.

You should fit fine. I hauled my 95 from TX on a 16" deck. My 04.5 is an inch or 2 over 17 feet. I prefer chains to straps. When I hauled the 95 I used 4 chains wrapped around the frame, crossed side to side and hooked towards the center of the trailer. I was a little tongue heavy but it rode well for 1000 miles. A little firewood in the towed trucks bed should level it out if you dont like the tongue wieght.

 

I did it!!
Started at 6am sunday and got back 5pm.
Took a little time to load but got her tied down.
around 550-600 miles and checked fuel around 17mpg or better for the round trip, we went on the scales at close to 20k Gross 10ktruck/10ktrailer.
