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

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

Re: HELP!!!! Need a quick answer...
That sounds an awful lot like my friend Matt K. Is it a blue longbed with flames and spikes all over it?
