Clearance back tires to box

Does anyone have a measurement of what stock clearance between rear tires and box would be on F1 series, I'm going to use different back space then I am currently running, which would put the distance from box at 1 1/4".

Well I think it might be a little different between the F1 with a "Pick-up" box, and the other F-Series trucks with the "Express" box.

I don't do math on Sunday! So, if you know the width of the stock tires you can do the math to figure this out.

I have 255R70/15 on 8" rims with a 4" backspace on mine. Have a 9" rear end.
Had it on the lift today and took a look, but didn't measure it. It looked to me to be about 1 1/2" - 2" between the tire and the bed side. It looked like about 1"- 1 1/2" between the tire and the outside of the fender. It was pretty close to being centered up.
Hope this helps.

That's pretty neet Penn Dick! Looks like they changed the view of the dimensional view in the salesmans handbook pages from 48-50 and the 51 version!
