how much room is there from the back of the frame, to the end of the bed floor?

i'm gonna be doing a back half, but the bed i had was rusted out so there was no way to get a measurement...i don't wanna make the frame too long lol

Looks like 3 3/4".... hard to be exact, I can't get the tape perfectly straight b/c there's a piece of metal side-to-side behind the ends of the frame rails.

edit: That's on my '72 LWB... you didn't say which truck, if it makes a difference

I have the bed off my truck right now do you just need from the last bolt hole or from the cab wall to the frame end?

I got 4" from the end of bed floor to end of frame rail. The bed support bolts to the very end of the frame so looks like a little longer frame ok but a little shorter and you'll end up fabbing some mounts. Hope this helps. If you need pics I can get some.

on a 67 long

i needed from where the frame ends, to where the bed floor ends, but stocker and 67 got it taken care of...thanks though!

Here's some pics for you. Hope they help, let me know if you need something else.

that works perfect, thanks man. i just wanted to make sure i had a few more inches in the back, since the gas tank i have is slightly bigger than the stock frame allows
