Hello. I'm new to the forum. I am looking at a nice 36 series '59 Apache Fleetside near my house, but need to know if it will fit in my garage. All of my Chevy books state the wheelbase of all of the models, but I need the TOTAL length of the truck. Thanks.

Joe

welcome to the shiney new 'bolt garage, Joe - assuming the ¾T would be the same as my long ½T fleet - 17'8" including bumpers - but don't let a little thing like an undersize garage stop ya!! there's lotsa helpful carpenters here that'll 'splain howta knock out a wall to make it fit grin

Thanks for the quick response, Bill. BTW, your truck is very nice...

I've got just over 16' from the garage door to my workbench, so it looks like I'm screwed.

Looks like I'll just have to park the truck in the driveway.

well if the bench is 2'or more, the plan is clear - out the door w/ the bench! in your area you'll be able to work outside at the bench mosta the time, and the truck will have a nice home! grin

make sure you get some pics for us, and get it in the gallery - not enuff TF trucks on here, and someone was just recently talkin of how rare the fleets are - I use mine for workin, along w/ a \'heavy ½T short 57 and it's got some good overloads on it that prolly let me haul as much as a ¾T - great ol trucks

That pic of your truck hauling apples is better than any trailer queen seen at the shows! Keep em rolling...
