1960 SWB Fleetside external dimensions please.

I have Googled and used search functions but do not seem to be able to get the answer.

Does anyone here, or can anyone here who has a '60-66 but preferable a '60 give me the measurements I would need to give to a transport guy to fit it into a closed transport trailer.

I guess I need mirror to mirror bumper to bumper and floor to top of roof measurements in either inches or centimeters.

If anyone also has the width, height and depth of seat and backrest of the bench, that would be hugely appreciated.

Thanks

Rian.

This is his closed trailer, which may be too narrow.

Thanks for that.

It is a great help.

I have added a few inches to the length to compensate for the rear bumper.

If that is the truck you want to ship, why not just measure it?

Good call.

It is about 750 miles from me.

I am waiting to hear of it is for sale at the moment.

Seems it has some issues but also some parts of it are what I would want.

I will be 50 in January and all my life my word has been my bond so I will also be trusting the friend of a friend of the owner to check it out and negotiate on my behalf.

I am currently researching all I can so that I can "stealth buy" it.
