49 f1

Rookie question, but can anyone tell me the length of a 49f1? I'm being given one by a family member and need to know if it will fit in my shop. Thanks.

Mine fits in a 24' long garage just fine. Wheel base is about 113" plus 6' of extra fender and bumper space, yer looking at about 16' or so. But ya want to be able to walk around it, so I'd say 20' should be comfortable.

Here you go, courtesy of Earl's site. The overall length is just as Havi says, 188" = 15' - 8".

thanks guys for the speedy and informative reply. I am being given the truck by my wife's step mother whos father was the original owner. I have only seen some pictures and it looks to be in decent shape. Anyway, it will now become a project for my boys and I. Again thanks for the info.

Don't forget to post pictures of the truck and the build as you go along. Welcome to the site and I hope you and your boys enjoy the quality time. I wish I had mine before my kids grew up. Now they have lives of their own and are too busy for this stuff.

Welcome !

I assume your question has to do with whether or not you need to demo and rebuild your Shop to fit the truck

Need pics and list where you are from on the right.
