I am not sure the exact length of mine which is a ford chassis but it is as long as my extended cab longbed truck. I was going to tow mine home but width is the big issue for me, the body is around 92" at the body the rear axle is 96" at the outer wheel but you could take that off. I can't see any way to trailer without a deckover the body won't fit between the wheelwells and wont sit above them. Also these are tallllll when I drove home I hit the body on some tree branchs that I never even thougt I would hit, so I would be a little concerned on a deckover about the overall height. Weight won't be an issue they are aluminum bodied, mine is 10,000 lbs gvw but based on the way the 4bt moves the truck I wouldn't think they weight more than 6000-6500 lbs. I will measure the length, height and width of mine tonight and also get the height of the body from the ground tonight after work and give you more specific numbers tomorrow.
I bought mine recently on craigslist for 2500 with a spare tranny and only 36,000 miles on the engine (according to the seller) and then he threw in a case of oil filters and a case of fuel filters for an extra 50. I am not sure if that was a great deal but they seem to be getting harder to find.
