At this point, I was starting to feel a bit embarrassed working on this outside of my garage. My 1949 Chevrolet frame was in the way so I rented a local storage unit and had a friend help me move the frame and the bed into the unit to make space. My buddy started laughing and said there was no way it was going to fit in the garage. I told him it would have around 1/2" inch of space.
My measurements were spot on..
