Question about truck width

Hi guys, this is my first post here. I have a question, can anyone tell me how wide a stock f150 is from outside the tires? The reason I am asking is my sister is giving my son her F150 but there is something wrong with the motor. I have to get it on a trailer and I need to know how wide it is to see if it will fit on my trailer. Thanks in advance for any help and I will need more help from yall when I get it home. Thanks again del

My 2000 scab is 76" across at the tires, including the sidewall bulge.

No, I don't know what's wrong with motor. I hope there isn't too much wrong with it. My brother-in-law is known for not working on something when it stops working and letting it sit. I will know something more by the weekend. I will put a new battery and gas in it and see if it will turn over and go from there. It has a v6 in it. The body is perfect and it ran good the last time I saw it run. Hope it turns out good. thanks for the advise yall!

If it's a 97 or early 98 V-6, I'd bet it's hydrolocked.

How do I find out if it is hydrolocked and if it is, what do I do about it?

Before you put a battery and gas in it, try to turn it over with a wrench on the front crank pulley bolt. If it won't turn, it's hydrolocked and you replace the engine.
