Wheelbase? etc | | | | | Joined: Jun 2008 Posts: 106 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jun 2008 Posts: 106 | Look in the online manuals of Chevys of the 40's | | | | | Joined: Nov 2006 Posts: 7 Apprentice | | Apprentice Joined: Nov 2006 Posts: 7 | Yes, I'm looking for the overall length and width (front and rear) dimensions. Short bed.
I looked through the Chevs web site, but didn't see any online manuals. I found a lot of books that I could purchase, but not complete manuals that I could open and read. Maybe I missed something.
Thanks.

I know it has the '41 1/2 ton dimensions.
