57 F100 Length
Does anyone know the overall length of a '57 F100 Shortbox? I'm bringing one home this week and need to plan the mess in the garage!
Thanks for any help.
By the way great forum, I've spent the last 3 days just reading posts, and I'm only on page 70 of 503.

I just moved one out of my garage. While I don't know the measurement because it is gone, I can tell you my garage is 22 ft deep, and I have a standard kitchen base cabinet at the front, and I was able to sqeeze by both front and rear. Just so you know I am not a twig, 5'9" 220# and I could get around it.

Thanks for all the help, I've got a bench in my garage and with it in it measures 16ft 2". I kind of wanted to squeeze it in with the bench but I don't think it's going to fit. I'm picking it up tonight so I'll see what happens.
I look forward to learning alot with this project, as it's kind of a major job. Picked it up for $300 so you can imagine the shape. I'm sure I'll be doing lots of reading and asking questions.
Thanks again

Just measured the frame on my 59 shorty - 181 inches end to end. (15 feet 1 inch). As I remember the rear bumper stuck out another 4 inches, front only a bit.

Thanks, so it should fit, perfect! That will make my wife happy because I was going to move it the her side of the garage if not.
I appreciate the time!

Welcome to the board!!
What do you mean her side of the garage???? Toss her all the way out, you'll need both sides once you start tearing into it anyway. I finally got a house with a double car garage and the wife was able to park inside for about a month until I took it over.
She wasn't thrilled at first but she got used to it.
If you had a garage like AXracer your truck would definatley fit (if he would only clean up the grass and leaves it would be a fine shop)
