Is my bed size "normal".
Good Morning,
I am trying to find a topper, camper shell, cap, etc. for my 1968 C10. I can't seem to find one the right size. From the outside of my bed rails it is 71" wide and the length from outside of the front bed rail to the back of my closed tailgate is 91". The width I can find, but the length at 7.5 feet I am having trouble with. Is this a "normal" bed size for a 1968 C10? |

Re: Is my bed size "normal".
You are going to be better off posting in the pickup section. This section is primarily Suburban specific.

Re: Is my bed size "normal".
Seems like maybe the rear of the bed section was shortened?

And yes, the rear wheels look way forward in the wheel wells. A pic of them from straight across the axle would help.

Re: Is my bed size "normal".
Rear wheels are definitely off to far forword in the wheel well
You need to check your wheel base measurements as well 115 sb 127 lb as posted in the diagram Does the frame look original ? Any cuts and welds under the cab ? I have a bobbed c10 looks like a sb with out a bed until you realize rear wheels are 10 inchs to far back |
