If it's the one for hauling cars/trucks. I put my 63 chevy truck and fit fine. My 63 suburban is 6'8" and my truck is 6'6" at the rear bumper. Just measured it.

Re: HELP!!!! Need a quick answer...

Thanks guys.
I just texted him your replys.

Heres the story now that I have a minute.

I drove 600 miles each way last year to buy a 63 burb in CT. But after 6 weeks of owning it, I lost my "new" job at 85 days, just before benefits kicked in.

So I sold the burb the following week.

So a 2 months ago, I spot it listed weird on CL with a bad tranny.

I tried like heck to get it back, but its more than doubled in value since I owned it 8 months ago


So I was bummed but moved on and bought my 66 short fleet Im doing.

Anyway, my buddy has a very badass 73 square that lays rocker, but was all custom built himself, no bought chassis parts.

He just had a baby a few months ago, and wanted a family friendly ride, so I mentioned the burb.

So last night he made the deal, and is going to get it tomorrow.

Im bummed I couldnt get it back, but Im super happy that he's getting it. So its still sorta in the family.

Anyway, Thanks for the measurments fella's

Just be sure when dealing with U-Haul that you tell them you are using a 1 ton crewcab LWB truck for a tow rig. I tried to rent from them to haul a 82 Blazer with a Denali XL (Suburban) and they said it wasn't big enough....

That sounds an awful lot like my friend Matt K. Is it a blue longbed with flames and spikes all over it?

HaHa..Yep. Ive been good friends with him for years. He's buying my old 63 burb.
Hes the one who did 90% of the air ride on my old Bare-steel 53 Suburban when I built it 4-ish years ago.
