Anyone know the wheelbase dimensions for these trucks? Better yet, can you get them to fit on a standard 16 or 20 ft car trailer?

149" for a shortbed, and 165" for a longbed. Use the 20' trailer.
BTW, say Howdy! to Oklahoma for me. I'm homesick.

True, but that hasn't stopped people from putting the decals or badges on one. Even with a shortbed, the 16' trailer would be a tight squeeze.

In 70-71 there could be, in fact there are some. I'm sure the OP is refering to 72-79 trucks though.
70-71 short bed crews had a 146" wheelbase.

No, that was my old Big Dog as shown being towed on a proper trailer.

Not 4WD or short bed, but mine is right at 21 feet from bumper to bumper. They're looooong!
