Anyone have there bedless LB frame sitting around? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

colgad · 03-30-2014, 08:29 PM

If anyone has there Long Bed frame without a bed on it I would like the distance from the center of the rear cab mount to the center of the axle on a long (127) bed. No rush.
Thanks!

I have 2 or 3 or 4 but I have to go get a '67 C-30 first thing in the morning. I could measure it tomorrow afternoon if no one gets it for you before then.

This may or may not have a combo of the dimensions to get the measurement you need:

I tried the frame chart but could not get the measurement I need. This week or next will be fine.
Thanks guys!

Right.

I started looking for "start and stop points" to get to your numbers and couldn't do it from the book, either.

Sorry.

I got one right outside my shop door if I don't get distracted this morning I'll post it up when I get home for lunch before 11am central time. [it is usually closer to 10 since I eat B-fast about 3 or 3:30] Jim

**kwmech** · 03-31-2014, 11:09 AM

How about 55-1/2''

hugger6933 · 03-31-2014, 11:42 AM

KW and I came up with different measurements, I don't know what to do about this situation. I was in the center of the rear mount and the center of the axle. I almost don't want to post now but I said I would 57 in is what I came with

cdowns · 03-31-2014, 01:08 PM

55.97 by the chart ifin you know how to read it

127 sutract 16.5. then subtract 55.03 // gives you 55.97 the center of cab mount to rear axel center

bigpaul · 03-31-2014, 04:23 PM

I think cdowns method is correct but the math is wrong should be 55.47.

colgad · 03-31-2014, 09:50 PM

Ill take 55.5 and call it done.
Thanks guys for all the help, glad we got a group agreement!

I am starting a C50 pickup build using part of a 92 Topkick frame and rear end to get the disk brakes. I am also using the front hubs for the disk brakes also. The last one I build I used the old C50's drums and I will NEVER do that again.
So thanks again!!!

Very cool. I have spotted a couple solid looking two ton trucks for a very good price. Wish i had the extra money to pull the trigger. Nice looking c 50.
