Default 67 Ford wheel base?

Whats the wheel base of the Parma 67 Ford F100 T/E Maxx body? I'm trying to decide wether or not to convert my VMG to a VMG-10, and if I do it's one of the bodies I'm looking at using.

most bodies dont match the maxx wheel base though, look at Pro Lines new Courier body, that thing is a few inches shorter than the chassis on each end.

actually parma's bodies are known for not haveing the wheelwells clearly marked anyway. Heres an idea but it and adjust the 4 links to the right wheelbase.

10th scale bodies are really wide for a vmg. I stretched mine to 18th scale which works pretty nicely.

not with 2.2 tires, Even with 0 offset HPI wheels off my nitro truck just mocked up mine is 7 inches wide. I kinda want it to just look like a lifted truck not a monster or rock buggy.
