headscratch OK - I'm new to the old truck stuff but HOW did they measure the wheelbase of trucks in the '50s ? Measured my '52 GMC 303-24 which the manual says is 161"s . I measured 222"s +/- from the front of the front tire to rear of the rear tire . 147"s +/- rear of front tire to front of rear tire . And 185"s +/- center of front axle to center of rear axle . Any guesses as to what in the heck is going on ? ohwell Thanks - Ed a new guy
