Re: Dug's 1959 Fleetside
Dennis: Per your request, see photo of how I measured firewall to center of shock tower nut/bolt. Measurement is 15-1/4". Placed the square up under the cab flange and plumbed down. Too difficult to try to translate to the center of the wheel so I took this shortcut. Went ahead and included on the thread in the event others are trying to zero in on cab location. for a '58/'59. Would assume 55-1/2 thru '57 would be the same but now sure.
By the way, finally created a condition that created front tire rub on fender. When leaving a pretty steep driveway ramp with wheels turned sharply, they rub slightly. In other words, the front and back tires on opposite corners are both high. I typically don't drive it like this so rubbing should not be a routine occurrence. Rolling the lip up may help and I may investigate this before body work and paint.
