Cab Width

I was curious as to if anyone knows how wide the cab on our trucks is, specifically above the windshield. I'm shopping for light bars

Normally I'd just measure myself, but my truck is 2000+ miles away, so I can't exactly do that.


Thanks in advance!

Light bar? Make one out of a ladder rack. I paid a whopping $26 for a set at the JY... it's adjustable too. Weld on a few tabs and you're in business.

Looks good, but I'm talking about LED light bars

In the Technical Info Hyperlink Compilation thread, there's a link that may help you: Technical Index - FORDification.net - The '73-'79 Ford Pickup Resource - look in the body builder's books for dimensions.
