Measuring the new garage trying to figure out where the 71 F250 is going. Can anyone tell me real quick what the bumper to bumper length is?

No problem. I crossed my fingers and bought my 71 Pontiac Lemans convertible without measuring my garage - it's actually an enclosed carport. I had to jump on it cuz the garbage worker working that street was supposed to come back that afternoon so I swooped on it. Anyhow, I have only six inches to spare!

Wow. 24 x 55? How high are the ceilings? I'm thinking ya can 'make' more room with a drive-on lift.

And about the wife needing to park in the garage? Ha! That's prolly why I'm not married! Hahahahahaha.

Good luck to ya man.

9' Ceilings but I dont really want the lift deal as the garage doors are the standard 7' crappola's!

well the truck comes up here tomorrow so I can finish it. My thread is on here jsut been months for the update. I did finally get the front clip back on, bed is on all that I need now is to install the grill (I had it polished), some interior electrical (I relocated the battery and the solenoin and all wiring to sit behing the seat on Passenger side) and it looks like a real truck again.

Hey... you're in Wildomar off I-15. My mom lives in Temecula.. she relocated from NorCal cuz she wanted warmer weather.

I like that area but ya gotta drive miles and miles to get anywhere worth going to... plus the drivers are nutz.. gotta go 80 mph if ya don't wanna get run over.
