I frequently answer questions about dimensions, weights, sizes, etc. for AD and TF trucks using a link to the web site below. It is a link to the main index for Reference Manual published at the time of manufacturer giving information that may not be in the Factory Assembly Manuals or Shop Manuals for the vehicle. It also has infor for autos and trucks up to 1970. I think these books were used by dealers and after market manufacturers for sizing purposes (think cube boxes, work boxes, etc.). I took a evening and browsed and downloaded the 59 TF book, it was pretty interesting. Enjoy
