Gonna go pick up a 65 c-10 long box this weekend. Will this truck fit on a uhaul trailer?

Thanks,

Steve

I've done it. Don't be completely honest with the guys at Uhaul when they ask what kind of vehicle you'll be hauling.

78f1hundo · 10-10-2012, 01:43 PM

Long box right? I know short will..... Thanks....

It will fit and haul just fine. But Uhaul won't allow it if you tell them what is going on the trailer.

78f1hundo · 10-10-2012, 02:51 PM

ok thanks for all the help

A LWB will definitely fit. And when I rented from uhaul a few months ago, they had no problem with what I planned to haul.

Not sure about Nebraska but here in California U-Haul won't rent you a car trailer unless you have at least a 3/4 ton truck to pull it with. So I rented one of their $45.00 dollar a day box vans, plus the trailer from them. Borrowed my brothers 1/2 ton Chevy truck, hooked their trailer to my brothers truck and went & picked up my car (a big 1962 Pontiac Catalina) in Reno, Nevada which is 350 miles away from where I live. While the rental price on the box van wasn't bad the per mile charge was outrageous. Not sure what the demensions are on a long bed truck but for my car it's this: 17.6' long, 10' wheel base & 5.2' track width. I had to rent the galvanized trailer, it's the only trailer they have that's big enough for a BIG Pontiac. I would make sure of the wheel base and overall length of your truck before you rent a trailer to make sure it will fit.
I'm telling you this because I once rented a trailer & was told it would haul another 62 Catalina I bought at the time, made a 200 mile trip to pick the car up and the wheel base of the car was wider than the trailer. I wasn't happy.

Nice car, I had a 65 421 tripower 4speed car at one time. I wish I had it now.

How far do you have to go? I've heard these sway over 55mph. May want to rent a bobcat/pickup trailer from a general equipment rental place. Whats your tow vehicle?

Look at my sig picture and add a longbed on it. It's pretty tight even width wise i was worried about banging up the sides but I made it ok. They didn't want to rent it to me either i had to say it was for something else.

I am willing to trade my left arm and left leg for that catalina (need my right arm and leg to drive it). just shoot me a PM

thats my dream car either that or a 63 tempest or a 61 catalina.
