'51 f3 Height

I'm just looking for the approximate height of a '51 f3 from the ground to the top of the cab. The truck has 16" wheels.

Thanks.

77.42" roughly speaking : )

Taken from Stu's diagram in Havi's post.

Don't forget he's got 16" wheels. The F-2 chart would probably be more correct for that reason. But unless it's gotta go under a real tight garage door, the difference probably won't be critical. Stu

Thanks Stu.

I also figured the f2 dimensions would be more accurate because of the 16" wheels.

LOL, good thing I said 'roughly speaking'....yeah, i forgot that point.

Thanks for posting those diagrams Stu. It's interesting to see the difference in height that just wheels and a spring leaf or two makes.
