Wheel base question
What is a 72 K-10 SWB supposed to measure???? I thought mine was a factory original shortbox truck, which had had the frame broke at one time and welded, i noticed today on the option sticker it says 127" wheel base, which is a long bed, correct??? Now i need to know if i have a stock length truck, or an oddball lenght thing that was constructed at a welding shop somewhere.

The short wheel base should be 115". Before you get too excited check the frame. The glove box door could have been changed.

Thanx for the measurement.........the frame has been cut and welded.......glovebox vin# and pillar tag vin# match....i noticed the weld on the rh side of the frame last year when i put the engine in, figured it had an accident coyote hunting and was broke and welded.......noticed yesterday the frame was welded on both sides......that's when i decided to look at the option sticker......Looks like I have a morphedite......oh well, runs decent, drives nice, goes where i want to take it.......it's a keeper!!!
