Im going to build shelves in my garage. In order to be able to open a 1960 F100 doors inside the garage I cant make any shelves in that area. So basically what I need to know is how many inches from the front of the front bumper to the leading edge and trailing edge of its door .
Or msmts could be made from the shortbeds end, ( no bumper) to the rear edge of the door then the front edge msmt too.
I also need to know the height of the door..Thats will be iffy cause I dont know the exact height the pickup as sitting. Ill just have to guess that part or go by the stock msmts. My f100 isnt accessible for me to check the measurements for some time and am having to build these shelves now. I searched the forum and didnt find these msmts. The only msmts I have are the pickups total length at 195" long and 77" wide(excl mirrors) I found many schematics with msmts of all kinds on the web but not anything I can use to avoit striking the shelves. Sure would appreciate any help on this one. Thanks

 

I will check when I get home. Don’t do what I did. I put enough room to open door, but not enough to get out

 

ha! I can squeeze with 12 inches,but really tough. Easier to get in than out or visa versa,cant recall. Im plannin on 24 in which leaves me room. If I mis calculate,which Ive been known to do,Im putting it on those Harbor freight dollys so I can inch it over easy enough,I hope. Have to jack the wheels up for each dolly to take on and off which will be a hassle to drive it much. Probably should have spent the money on the $90 dolly instead of the $55 ones since the 90s dont require jacking the vehicle up. Might be able to modify the cheaper ones with smallish ramps and dolly wheel blocks,but ideas usually work better than the actual experiment. have a look at the dollies Im talking about from HF https://www.harborfreight.com/materi...e-dollies.html

 

102 inches or 8 feet 6 inches from bumper to rear of door

 

Thanks Marc,so just to be clear, since I had said I dont have a bumper on the rear, Im assuming your msmt above,is from your pickups front bumper to the rear of the door?

 

Yes it is from bumper, remember you still have about 2 inches of frame in front of front valance
