What is the overall height of a Bridgeport Series I with HEAD INVERTED?

Hello,
I have purchased a Bridgeport Series 1 vertical mill, 1997 model.
I am going to pick it up in a few days.

I am loading into an enclosed 16' trailer.
Trailer door opening is 74" high.

I need to know precisely how tall is the Bridgeport with the head "inverted"?
I know the overall mill height is supposed to be 82" so I could subtract the motor height above the ram?
When inverted the quill/spindle will stick UP some amount above the ram?

I will be using a pallet which will cause a RISE of 5" (plus a little to slide it) so precised measurement (if close) is essensial.

Can anyone help me with this information?

Thank you so much!

I just sold a 2J on a pallet, and it was 69" with the head tipped sideways, including the pallet.

just flip it 90 degrees. they are only like 60" tall to the ram. plus why not just put it on a tow truck?

Why in an enclosed trailer, Rain and snow, salt on the roads and 600 miles!
