As It seems I can't delete this I let the question below so it make sense to anyone still reading or searching for the answers I was given ...cant wait for my stove bolt to arrive !!!
Cheers Everyone
Original topic:
So I am trying to get accurate measurement to ship my 1942 1/2 ton panel truck. Needing height and length.
When I look at the specs , page 30 is missing which I assume had the 1942 1/2 ton panel specs. The 1-1/2 is there, the 1/2 ton suburban/carry and the 1/2 ton canopy express... but not just the straight panel. I can find nothing to say if they are identical to one of these above and given they all vary slightly I assume the 1/2 ton panel is different.
Can anyone help ? Or have that missing page themselves to share ?

Perhaps someone else can shed more light on this? The page is missing from Keith's site.

Here are the requested dimensions, from the 1941 and 1946 Chevrolet Truck Data Books:
197 15/16" long (bumper to bumper)
77 1/4" to 77 7/16" tall (or a little taller, depending on tires)

I thought I had one... but $2,500 from SD to San Fran CA is a lot ! Thats DAS that will guarantee a 3 day pickup as previously I had it on the national boards and no one picked it up as the bids were under $1,000 and thats not worth it to anyone. If you have any insight on that please let me know... I did post already on the Hauling forum and will go check there now.
I may a this point have the truck fixed and fly out and drive it back ... hoping of the best.
Cheers
