Technical How Long is a 1935-40 FORD Frame?

Got to pick up a bare Ford Frame for my '39 pickup project, how long are they? Dump truck or should we hook up the trailer? Thanks!

Bare frame will ride easily in back of a pickup. See attached. A freshly powdercoated 36 Ford frame in my truck, the 36 Fordy.

 

I'd take a trailer; you never know what you'll find and you may need to put something extra in the truck's bed. Just sayin'

 

^^^^
You did notice there are '35 -'40 frame(s) on the trailer.

 

Here is a chart that I have found helpful:

 

This is Wescott's frame drawing that is referenced here once in a while. Looks like it is an fairly easy carry.

 

It will fit a regular 1/2 T pickup:

 

What's "regular"?
5.6' bed
6'
6.5' bed
6-9" bed
7' bed
8' bed
8.2' bed

 

I hauled mine home in the back of a full size 8' box.
