Rance If ya manage to amke it fit - a tip for ya - a pal of mine has a '93 gmc logn bed truck - that 'JUST' fits in his garage.. so to keep from driving into the wall - he measured it out - and hung a rubber toy monster fromt he ceiling(some folks use a tennis ball) - so he knew when he back in - when that toy monster hit his back glass - STOP. I think he had about an inch from his bumper to the wall... and the garage door jest' cleared by about 2 inches I think. It was tight. Of course, now he has a hot rod t bucket so '93 truck sits in the rain. anyway - you've prolly heard of this before... but yer thread made me thinks of it and I find it amusing. -W | | | | | Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 313 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 313 | You might have a problem, because the truck is about 210" long. I measured the width, and is appears to be 80" excluding the mirror/s.

Thanks for the tip. I'd heard that before but forgot about it.
Doug,
If it don't fit, then that's what granny gear is for, right? Just push the wall out a smidggen. <grin> Thanks for the info.

With the front bumper touching the workbench, the garage door clears by about an inch. Of course I had to take off an extension someone had put on the front bumper. Most importantly, it's out of the rain. Thanks for your help guys. Heavy metal, I may be interested in your bed. We'll talk in 3-4 weeks. Rance
