Length of a short bed frame - horn to horn

I am at work right now so I have no way of measuring the length of the frame to give me the answer. I ran accross one heck of a deal on a 77' 4wd short bed frame ($ 50.00). Just trying to see if it will fit in my backyard which I believe it will. I can stash it under my deck and my wife won't know until the summer time.........................

Re: Length of a short bed frame - horn to horn

Now I am thinking to myself............." Should I pick the frame up or not "? My wife may decide to really kill me since the back yard looks like a junkyard right now with spare hoods and doors................................

Hide it under the other parts. Tell her you are "cleaning up" and move things around a bit. Heck you might even want to mow the grass while your there...

Re: Length of a short bed frame - horn to horn

Picked up the frame over the weekend and dropped it off in the backyard. Wifey was outside with the kids yesterday and did not say one thing about it!!!! Kind of hard to miss a 15 1/2+ foot frame under a tree.................seems like I am home free once again!!!!! Now to find some more miscellanaous parts (rears, steering box, etc.)
