28-29 model a truck cab hauling in new truck???

any one ever haul a model a truck cab and bed in the back or a new truck. more spicificly a 2011 dodge 6' bed. i know the cab will fit but i was wondering if the cab and bed will fit. i got to pick up a model a cab and bed and i hate to hook up and drag a trailer all the way to ks with gas prices being what there are. i think the cab will fit all the way up front cowl first but i am wondering if the bed will fit standing on end behine the cab .any ideas? any measurements of the cab out there? thanks for any info you can provide. drew

 

I carried all that in a short bed s 10. Cab hanging off the tailgate. bed in front. But I don't care if I scratch stuff.

 

i would think it would fit.....stand box up on end....use some good tiedowns.

 

Had you considered taking some lumber and a handsaw with you ? I'm thinking you may be able to lay the Model A Cab flat on its back and drop the upside down model A bed over it with a couple lengths of lumber strapped across the top your late model bed to support the Model A
bed .

I would probably put the cab in first and then the box with the tail gate down. Tie it in good and go.

 

Should fit i had on in a 98 150 shortbed but just the cab it just cleared the wheel wells prob have to leave your tailgate down to get the bed in they also fit in nissan titans i know.

 

thanks for the input. i cant wait to get this cab and bed. i just trying to keep fuel cost down and not drag a trailer to kansas from cincinnati ohio. i guess i am kinda cheap that way. haha!

 

It will fit. TIE IT DOWN. I will never forget the story on here of a guy getting a model A (I think) cab done after hundreds of hours spent and watching through his rear view mirror as the cab flew through the air and tumbled down the highway.

^^ that would totally ruin your day ^^

 

Take the trailor, your truck won't notice it much and you may find more goodies!

 

29pu i like your avatar. what are the details on that unit? engine wheels etc. i am ate up with these trucks. here is my old 28 i drove to l.a. roadster show in 2006

 

You can do it

 

I would think you could put the model A bed in your pickup bed and then put the cab in it sideways, I could be wrong though.
