new to the forum.

Hey everyone I'm new here.

I have a question about 47-54 chevy beds.
can anyone tell me what the measurement is from the center of the rear wheel to the edge of the bed (by the cab) is?

My Dad and I are going to be making a crew cab and put it on a new (1999-2007) 3/4ton 4x4 frame so we are trying to figure out what wheel base would work best either a suburban/avalanche or a crew cab silverado.

thanks.

Welcome firebird73! Sounds like ya'll have your work cut out! Nice to hear you and your Dad are doing this! How meaningful!
Now how about those pictures and are you going to start a build thread?

Thanks for the welcome guys!

We are definitely going to make a build thread, but first we have to get some trucks and start on the build.
