Couple of measurements please

[thotfulspot]

I don't have a bed currently and I'm trying to figure out some measurments for the rearend and wheels.

Could someone tell me the width of the fender to the bedside, and the bedside to the frame.

Thanks

Which bed are you looking for measurements of; stepside or fleetside?

Sorry, '57 step side.

Frame to bedside, 8in. Inside edge of fender to bedside, 11 3/4 inches.

Thanks! That's what I needed to know.

Since we are talking about measurments in the back, I'm having a 9" built by Moser, and since I don't have a bed on it right now, what width of rearend are people running? I'll have the whole Porterbuilt setup, so I need to fit between their pieces and the fenders. They say limit it to a 10" wheel, but what offset/backspacing wheels are you using? I haven't decided on what wheels to run yet, but they need to have nice lip on the rear. I'm thinking maybe Delmos wheels, maybe a torque thrust style, or something more modern.

The wheel people say to put the axle in and bed on then take measurements. The axle people say to get the wheels and bed in and measure from there. Nobody wants to take the first step. The stock bed is 50" wide, and the stock axle is 58" from brake backing plate to brake backing plate. I'll be running a set of Baer discs on the back.

Everyone I've asked says they didn't write it down.
