If one wanted to flatbed one of these, how big must the towtruck be?
While the GMC is 26 feet long, a good chunk of that is rear overhang;
only the wheels have to actually sit on the flatbed.

Wheelbase on my 68 Pontiac is 121 inches. She's a big girl.

A 26 foot GMC is 160 inches to the "centerline of the rear tandem
pairs", is that the center of the bogie or the actual distance from
front wheels to the rearmost wheels? They're being a bit ambiguous,
because the wheels on the same side are the ones paired in tandem.
