'68 short bed measurement anyone?

If there is anyone out there who would be so kind as to measure there "fleet side" short bed right above the body line, the one which curves over the rear wheel.

If you hooked a measuring tape just above that body line, say near the bottom of the tail light where the bed squares off, vertically, then to the front of the bed corner, could you please give me a rough measurement.

I tried looking for threads on short bed measurements but seemed to only find frame shortening.

Thanks for any help.

Does this help any? Edit; Ooops, I just re-read your question and I don't see how to delete this pre-coffee post.
