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.

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.
