    My question is can I legally pull a 53' wedge with a 3500 regular cab pick? Would that be over length? What is the allowable length I can be as a hot shot car hauler?

    65 foot end to end if you have a bed on truck.

    You're are correct. With a bed it is 65' and without 75'.

    What difference does the bed make, on the overall length?

    With the bed on your considered a straight truck. With the bed off your considered a power unit. Basically without the bed your just like a big truck.

    Overhang is allowed. I can't remember which is which but no more than four foot over hang on front an no more than three feet on the back. Or it's the other way around. I forget. Maybe some else can clarify that one for me.
