Need help

Hi all....I have been trying to find the demensions ( Hieght, width and length ) of a 1981 SWB F100....as Im trying to get a price to move it 2800kms ( 1700 miles ) here in Australia and unfortunatly the individuals I have been talking dont know what a F100 is. Does anyone know the approximate demensions.

Also what is the standard fuel tank size on a 1981 SWB F100.

Hope you can help....cheers Rory

Do they know what an F150 is? It's the same size as that, just a lighter-duty variant.

Tanks are either 17gal or 19gal, most are 19 but I hear of some 17s out there.

Width = 2000mm
Length = 5400mm
Height = 1800mm

Or thereabouts, actually that's a long wheelbase, the short wheelbase is 150mm less.

Take into account the extra width of mirrors or anything else that protrudes from side of vehicle when giving car carrier dimensions as they usually load these onto TNT's car trailers which don't even have much room when there's a Falcon on there let alone an F'y
