My copy of the restoration pack for a '55 1st (should be the same) actually gives only the width across the center of the outer tires, not the outside measure. Maybe others have a different version?
I have one dually that came to me with an 80's rear under it. I've not measured to see if its the original width or not. Also changing the wheels or tires could change the width.
What model truck is this? Is it a 3800?
A stock 3800 dually should be just under 80 inches measured across the rear tires. My '54 GMC 250 (basically the same thing as a 3800) is 79-3/4 inches across the stock wheels and what I believe are stock size tires.

It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble... | | |
