Does anyone have a 58 or 59 long fleetside truck that they would be nice enough to take some bed measurements?
I need front to back, bottom to top, the fattest part on the outside to the inside of one of the bed sides. My guess is that it would be easiest to take the measurement from the fattest part of the bullet on the tail end to the tailgate edge.

Thanks in advance

102" long [including the 'flange' that extends forward of the bed front panel & the tail light bezel] .... 32" tall [+ or minus fraction] .... exactly 6' wide from outside the rocket to other side of gate [add 6" for the other bedside]
