short bed wheel base measurment?

Post by 1lowf150 »

i am working on a 70 ranger shortbed. i have not had any luck finding what the proper wheel base should be, my truck has had suspension work done on both ends and i am trying to fix some thing and need to check the wheel base. any help would be great.

thank you stevec, the wheel base on the truck now is 114 1/2" so they was pretty close. i couldn't ask for better placement of the wheel in the front fender well, so i will just adjust the bed to cab space if needed.
