Hey all,

I'm planning to build a cart for my 55-1/2 TF cab. Does anyone have the dimensions handy for the 4 body mounting points? I want to build the cart so that the 4 corners align with the 4 mounting points. My truck is currently buried under a mound of snow or I'd go out to measure it.

Thanks in advance!

OK, I got ambitious and shoveled the snow away, enough for me to crawl under the truck and take measurements. If anyone is interested, the dimensions are 43-inches front to back, and 40-inches side to side in the rear, 52-inches side-to-side at the front mounts. These are rough center-to-center dimensions. Now I'm waiting to thaw out so I can get the wood working tools out to build the cart this afternoon. I'll be using 2x4's, some plywood and large casters. I'll try to take some pix along the way.
