Ok bud.... I will try to scan them tomorrow. They show the overview of the frame top and side with points and mesurments. The diagrams list pretty much all measurements. Even the bolt holes. I think every guy on here needs this book. It has wiring diagrams, and engine firing order. Honestly. . . . This book has measurements on the whole dang truck. Even installation instructions, and transmission I'd's. Its like a bible. The overall lenght of a 1963 frame is (179.97) The overall wheel base of a 1963 is (115.00)

Re: Factory chassis dimensions for 63 p/u
I got that book about a month ago. The only problem with it is there are no index or directories to help find what your looking for. Heck, I don't even think the pages are numbered. I just got the 63 Chevy Truck Shop Repair Manual yesterday and I think it's more helpful and easier to use. You should check it out.

The track width behind the cab on my '64 is 34"..... That's all I know.

Re: Factory chassis dimensions for 63 p/u
That's right...the frame tapers out to 39 inches just in front of the axle line, and then in again after the axle to 34 inches at the back of the frame. Do you also need the length of the frame? We'll need to know if you are working on a short wheel base or a long wheel base, and what reference points you would like us to take measurements from for you.
