13' 6"...and I guess when they brought it through NY some of the bridges were 13'6". It is not a convertable...so they must have cleared...they did haul another car...that one they dropped off in ohio or somethin..this was driven from washington state to me in rhode island....didnt fit in a flat rate box.

13' 6" is 4.11 meter.... Over here, you need a special permit for anything above 4 meter, because most road bridges are designed at 4 meter.

Couple of years ago, in a nearby city, lots of trucks were damaged:
They repaired the asphalt by adding a layer over the old roadway. Nobody thought about that the clearance was reduced to under 4 meter, so many truckers that came along there for years, damaged their truck because they didnt know that the passing height had changed due to the new layer of asphalt...

I had a grabber blue 1971 F250 3/4 ton camper special pick up.
Bought it new back then.
Best looking PUs Ford ever made.
If I had one like it today I'd install a dump bed on it and use it to tow my BX23 on a trailer.
