I'm looking at an F5 that is for sale in another state. I'm trying to find something that will show me what the specs are on the chassis like wheelbase, overall length etc. I need to know if this thing will fit in my driveway. I know it can't go in the garage. Any help would be appreciated.
Here are the factory diagrams for a ‘51 F-5, which will be the same as for ‘52 except for six cylinder engine option if that’s what you have. If needed I can go pull the book and get these same charts for ‘52. Stu
Thanks for the info. Now I just have to find out which wheelbase and flatbed size are on the ones I'm looking at. I have a HOA and there's a woman who lives across the street who has nothing better to do but make sure the neighbors comply with the HOA rules, one of which has to do with what they consider "commercial" vehicles.

Welcome, Joe, you may want to read through your CC&R's before pulling the trigger on this. In the rules, if there is a restriction, it will say and define the association's definition of commercial vehicle. Some have a GVW cutoff, some say it can't have a business name on it, or both. It's not uncommon to have a 10,000GVW limit called out in the CC&R's to prevent work trucks from "ugly-ing up" the neighborhood. Especially if you have the neighborhood busybody right across the street. They can make your life miserable, and life is too short for that kind of nonsense.

Hi Merc,
I've already run into that, twice. We moved out of our last place because the PIA who lived in the condo above our garage complained when I ran my wood working tools during the day. She also complained when I came home from work from the late shift on the Harley. The HOA board told her to get lost because I was allowed to run the tools during the day and there was no restriction on types of vehicles. But she kept it us and we finally move out. In this place I brought my '46 3/4 ton Chevy flatbed here to work on it and the woman across the street complained because it was in the driveway. (I guess the builder didn't think anyone would own a truck because the garages aren't long enough). I ended up selling it. THEN I found out that I didn't have to because it had historical plates and, according to the vehicle code and a bunch of other codes, historical vehicles can't be regulated. They're exempt from most rules like smog, parking and other fun stuff. So if I buy one of these the first thing it gets is a set of Historical plates, :-)
