Can anyone tell me what wheelbase lengths a 2 ton 47 Chevy 6400 LoadMaster might have been made. I fell in love with this 47 Chevy 6400 Loadmaster and was all set to get it when the owner told me the trucks overall length was 24'. Would a 160" WB support that length bed? Did they make a longer WB than 160" in the 2T 6400 that year? Man, I wish I had got that truck anyway, it was a beauty. Still lookin'.

Thanks,
Dave

A 6400 was 161" wheel base and a 6100 was 137". Many bed outfitters also extended the wheel base.

There were some 6500 series 179"in. wheelbase 2 ton trucks in the Advance Design Line of trucks, but I believe they were first available with the 1950 production year. I've had two of them. A '51, & a '53 model.
