i'm hoping one of you guys with a 73-87? gen with a 8' bed can take a couple measurements for me.

i need to know the distance from the inside of the front of the box (on the floor) to the begining of the wheel hump in the box.

and i need to know the height from the floor to the bottom of the side rail in the box.

basically i need to know if this:

will fit in my 1970 long bed

thanks

:beer: thanks brother :beer:

same dimensions.
i wonder exactly how similar the rest of the bed is. i'm sure that would be nice for figuring out if things will fit that are made for later trucks... seems like everyhting is advertised to fit 73+

like hi-lift mounts, cargo cages, swing out tire carriers, etc...
