What is the over all length of the truck bumper to bumper?

It has been the perfect length for my purposes.

Farmer said he didn't need one back in 49 as the elevator still had the old cable lift for the trucks/wagons? Just wondering because I would like to put a hoist under mine.

I've used mine a lot, the truck rides so nice with a load on it too.
Mongo | | | | | Joined: Aug 2009 Posts: 311 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Aug 2009 Posts: 311 | I agree about riding better with a load. But I must admit the loads I have hauled are not nearly as nice to look at as Yours! | | |
