Could somebody be so kind as to tell me the wheelbase and body width for '49-52 pickups?

Thanks

Hello,
The '48-'52 F-1 wheelbase = 114"
The '48-'52 F-2/F-3 wheelbase = 122"
Sorry I don't have the body width. I'm sure someone here will have it. :)

The January 1990 issue of Cars& Parts magazine has a article on the 1950 F-1 in it. They state that the width is 75.94 inches, the height is 75.64 inches. The height was determined with 600x16 tires. Here's a few more specs:

Wheelbase 114 inches
Length 188.78 inches
Curb weight 3,243 lbs.
Shipping weight 3065 lbs
Ground clearance 8.13 inches
cargo capacity 45 cu. ft.
load length 78.06 inches
load width 49.0 inches
Load height 24.09 inches
front tire width 58.08 inches
rear tire width 60.0 inches

Excellent article. I've kept it handy to refer to.
