Sure it helps (thanks)....See that 35" reference? That's supposed to be 30" from somewhere around the rocker panel. Here's some good info. Found one truck today, he said I could measure but couldn't touch the paint. I didn't want to push it, though he didn't realize til later I had a rubber sewing tape measure with electric tape on the end (i.e., can't scratch). Next time I bring the "Michael Jackson" gloves that came with my floor speakers..........
Nice guy. He has a 72 Super short bed with a 350, and the moldings are all original. His truck is in nice shape, was restored 17 years ago. He said a lady had offered 35K for it. It's nice to know the 30K I'll blow on this project is a fair investment as well as a must do.
Some good info. on the subject here:
