Default Frame question

We have purchased a frame for our restoration project and I'm trying to find the length of the bare frame so I know what size truck to rent. Anybody know?

Thanks.

I carried mine from Southern New Hampshire back to Montreal on the back of a mid-size truck. 30 bucks worth of 2x4's and screws and I didn't have to rent truck nor trailer

With a little padding you can stick it in the back of a full sized P/U truck and let it hang over the closed tailgate. Throw a red flag on it for safety, but it only hangs out by about 3 feet or so. I hauled mine all over the place like that, no problems.
