Thank you Dfwright. Anything you feel like measuring is appreciated, from fender to tailgate. Word of caution, The first inch on your wife's tape measure may be inaccurate. My wife's is wrong, so I have to start at 1".

Incidentally, call it blasphemy, but it sure would be a lot easier if we had/use the metric system from inception. Metric is more accurate and makes a lot more sense. GM 10ths system is a blast. .47 = greater than 15/32". GM uses 12 inches in a foot but 10 parts for an inch? What the heck?

Beautiful truck 68.

Much of the info. applies to all 67-72 GM trucks, and to a lessor degree all 67-72 GM vehicles. My build thread, and more on the guide https://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/...d.php?t=730025
