1947 Ford Truck Overall Height

Can anyone tell me the overall height of a stock 1947 Ford truck? I was unable to find it on the web so I thought that this would be a good place to ask the question. Thanks in advance.

Anyone?

I see a few of you looking at the post... The reason I ask is because a buddy of mine is considering buying one off of craigslist and he only has a 6' high door on his garage.

I th it'll be fine...if not, (assuming 1/2 ton PU), have him take the tires off or let the air out of them to roll in.

I'll go measure my '42 in a bit.

Hey,

Welcome to FTE

Thanks Mike, That would be a good idea.... I personally would suggest getting a taller door but any data you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

I guess I lied to you...just measured my '42, has a flat front tire and the rear of the cab is still abut 75 inches high...looks like he'll have to pull the wheels and floorck or dolly it in.
