Curb to curb turning diameter for our dents?

Do you have the specs for the curb to curb turning diameter for our dents?

...please include the curb-to-curb specs for my 1975 F150 133" 2wd? ;)

I've modified the front-end on my pickup so it'll turn-sharper and would
like to know how much change I've really made, it's now at ~45 feet. :)

I've got a 78 f350 dually dump truck with 160" wheelbase and you've got me beat except for once. the truck was empty, it was damp and I put my left front on the man hole, cranked the wheel, dropped the clutch and worked my stop n go pedals with my fast foot. I went the full 180 and the tire was still on the man hole. So I know it can be done in 18/19'. heh, heh ,heh

Cool! :)

Reminds me of my old dune buggy days. :)

--------------------------------

Used to, specs like "curb to curb" and "wall to wall" turning circle specs
were common and now (Ford especially?) is stingy as anything with that
simple information. :/

I made the mistake of making changes without making measurements. :/
Didn't know at the time they weren't to be had! ;)
