1956 F100 Dimensions?
I did ask the question a while ago about a 53 and Fatfords kindly provided the details. I just wondered is a 56 is the same or wider?
The reason I ask is that I think I have found myself an old stable to be able to carry out the resto. But it only has a 6'6" (78") wide door. Will it fit?
According to the 53 specs it is nearly 76" wide so even if it is the same it is going to be very tight.
Thanks
Lee

Lee - The 53 and 56 are identical in width (and most everything else). You may find that the mirrors are a problem, since they always stick out a little farther. I hope the inside of the garage is wider than the doors or working on it will be a real problem.

Thanks Randy,
Yes the inside is big enough to get 3 motors in it, well it would be but for a load bearing post right in the middle of it, but I could work around that.
I am just not sure I fancy pulling it in and out of an opening with just 1" either side. It sounds like an accident just waiting to happen...
Oh dear,
There was me thinking I was going to struggle to find a motor. I found one after 3 weeks of looking really seriously. I have been looking longer now for somewhere to store it!
Cheers
