Some dimensions here:

What size are you trying to do? You can buy a 1:50th scale model....

There are millions of these things scattered around the country, you can probably find one without too much trouble.

I have exactly what you need in my copy of the 1957 Ford Body Builder's Layout Book. These books were published for each vehicle production year. My 1957 edition is one of the earliest that has been found. The drawings in these books contain measurements for everything. The drawings are engineering line diagrams with precise measurements for everything conceivable. The books were published to allow aftermarket companies to design their accessories, beds, etc, having assurance that they would fit each chassis model. The difficulty is the book has 11 inch x 17 inch pages that are very large, and print that is very small, with the result being very cluttered and faint pictures. They don't scan well enough to be of much use on-line. I've made copies of pages before and mailed them to a person who was modeling a different vehicle model. I'd be happy to do the same for you. I see in your member profile that you live in Russia, so would need you to provide me a complete mailing address to ensure that I can get them to you.

Another alternative would be for you to find a later version of this book that would contain the same information. I know that I've seen these books on eBay for later trucks, but don't know off the top of my head what the span of years was for the C Series. I know it was produced for many years so this may be an option for you.

If you want me to mail you copies please either post your address here, or do me a private message with your address. I know we'd all like to see your model when you have it done. Your Parnelli Jones SCCA Mustang is very nice. Stu

This is a 1984 book, but I do not know if C-Series is included. I looked at another book and it just said "see previous year" due to the vehicle being unchanged for the model year.

1984 Ford Factory Truck Body Builders Layout Book | eBay

I found a place that has them on line, but only back to 1997. C-Series was last produced in 1990.

https://www.fleet.ford.com/truckbbas...bodybuild.html

Third from the bottom of page 1 here lists a 1960 body builder book:

http://www.autolit.com/Listing/Media..._1960-1969.pdf

This is another link to that site. The item is 87101, and it pops right up if you want to buy it for $50+ shipping, tax etc.

I do not need a book. I only need the size. I see no reason to buy it, if someone could just help me with the dimensions of the cabin

The copies that I will send are paper copies, not electronic copies. So I will need your postal address, not your email address. Stu

Yes, I thought the mail would take a long time. But to show you the detail I think that will be necessary. For example, below is a scan I made of an F-350 for another person. It is very hard to read. If you can read this, I will scan your diagrams and post them for you. Otherwise, I think the mail is the solution. Stu

Your copies are in the mail. Please let us know when you get them, and be sure to post a picture of your model when completed. Stu
