I need a measurement.


Recommended Posts

Someone who has a 116" wheel base truck, I need a measurement from the center of the rivet on the back of the leaf spring hanger to the back of the frame.

My frame was chop for the tilt deck that was installed back on the farm. I've had extensions welded back on but I left them long. The pic shows what I'm looking for.

Thanks for the help.

Here's the tail end of my 116" wb 3/4 ton single wheel pickup. It measures 13 3/4" to the center of the rivet.

Mr. Reg

Thank you, thank you, thank you, and the new pup thanks you. She keeps running under the truck and banging her head. Now I can trim the frame, fit the box properly and stuff it back in the shop.

Good, glad I could help a buddy pup out.

So....does this mean you have the rear fender and running board extensions for the dual rear wheels ?

So far so good. Only outside does she seem to like chewing on anything she can get. If I get after her she runs under the truck but the last time she started to chomp on the brake flex hose going to the rear axle. I got after her and she banged her head pretty hard. She actually sat down for a few minutes and just stared at the ground. Next week she will be to tall to walk under the truck which solves that problem. 70lbs at almost five months.

The best part is that she is learning the important things like providing me with a beverage.

She is a Saint and her mom was 160 and dad was around 200. She is just 5 months now and her paws are as big as our last Saint when she was mature.

I have to put the truck away. I hate seeing it sitting outside in pieces all cold, wet and howling at me to get working on her. At least if she's in the shop were it's warm and dry I can sit with her and make truck noises so she won't be lonely.....

I know! I know! Stop listening to that little voice in my head.
