Question from the new guy - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hi, I have been in the market for a 71-72 for a while now and am getting close!

Silly question.....Can someone tell me the overall length measurement? Edge of front bumper to edge of rear bumper. Checking garage fit.

1971 Longbed (not Longhorn) with rear step bumper.

Internet research tells me 206 inches, but I would like to hear it from someone who really knows.

Thanks.

It's 208 inches without the step bumper. Depending on who manufactured the step bumper and how it was installed, it could add 6-8 inches to the length.
