Measurement from 1950 cab to bed

The center line that runs under the rear cab window to the top of the bed, what is that measurement? mine is a 1950 chevy pu and I'm doing the s-10 swap. I'm trying to get the bed positioned properly so I know what measurements to make for the bed mounts.

You really need the running boards and splash aprons on to determine how high to mount the bed on the frame.

Yup, I thought about that last night when I was staring at it. I was going to remove the silly post this morning...

Unless you do what I did... push the box up 2", the fenders down 2" and just make new running board to box pieces... Kinda takes the disproportionate a little out of the cab height over the box look...

Just my 2 cents...

Second that we lifted, lowered, slid, moved, cussed, then bolted the running boards on and got it lined up within 15 minutes.
