'63 GMC Short Bed Fleet Overall Length - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

If I was anywhere near the truck I would measure it myself but I'm trying to measure out how much room I'll have inside of the shop for the truck and if I'll have room in front for tool boxes etc. I know the wheelbase is 115" but was wondering if anyone knows the overall length from front to rear.

186-3/4" published overall length, per the Truck Sales Data Book. This does not include the rear bumper, since rear bumpers were an option on the light-duty trucks and commonly installed at the dealership-level...also the rear bumper choices were nearly unlimited.

Thanks a lot Tony! That's a great help and you're always willing to lend a hand with specs and everything.
