52 F1 Question

Did a cursory search but don't have all afternoon....

What is the dimension between the inside rear fender lips side to side, or total allowable rear axle width outside tire to tire for a stock 52 F1 bed with stock fenders.

Using narrowed 9", not stock wheels and tires and tubbed bed, just need that one measurement to figure out backspacing.
Just can't find my pre-teardown cheat sheet where I wrote all that stuff.


You should see the Snow on the ground here in Dallas today......that don't happen often.

I had a '66 Bronco 9" with modified spring pads for an '87 Bronco II (same as the Explorer swap) that fit under my F1 frame so I could move it around the yard. I put the bed on, and the tires just rubbed the bedsides. Tires/wheels were stock. That 9"rear is 3" narrower than the '57-72 9" Not exactly what you wanted, but it might help until someone can provide an exact measurement.

Or maybe this: (that one dimension is 49.00)

Thanks, I believe the number I was looking for is the 75.94"

The inside or bed width won't matter, I know I have to tub there.

Thanks again, I need to save that pic
