If you have the vehicle, it is the lower left corner of the sticker. Or you can measure it center to center on the wheels. My 83 4wd is 114"

It is the vehicle ID sticker that should be on the drivers door right by the latch mechanism. The number on the bottom left of the sticker will be your wheelbase.

Well, grab a buddy and measure your wheel base. Have him hold a tape measure on the center of the front wheel, and you read the measurement to the center of the rear wheel.
