Hey all
I've searched and I found a few comments on other forums but I need some information to better judge a transport question.
I have 94 K1500 6.5 AT reg cab LB and I there's 93 K1500 ex cab LB about 300 miles from me that I want to go and retrieve.
I have a trailer but it's a utility trailer and just isn't wide enough to handle it.
I also have two tow dollies, one of which is 77" wide and and has working surge brake.
I have read other posts elsewhere that suggest the K1500 (in stock form) will fit on a tow dolly 76" wide but it is tight. I've measured the front of my K1500 and it looks to be 75" wide so I think the dead truck should fit. I have some early steel wheels with narrower tires that seem to have less positive offset and might reduce the width slightly as well.
So before I embark on this trip I'd like to hear what people have to say. This will not be transported on the interstate, it'll be on two lane highways where speed will be kept pretty low and stops will be frequent.
I'm curious about how much the front of a K1500 weighs (5.7L AT) so I can know whether it'll actually be over the dolly limit. Dolly has good ST tires
Thanks
Steve
