How long it is from back of cab to end of the bed?

How tall it is from bottom of shell to roof of cab(inside)?

How tall it is from bottom of shell to top of bedrails?

subtract .060" (1.52mm) and you have the interior demensions.
It will get you started till you buy one to work off of.

Thanks double j this is good info to get started with but not enough to start peiceing together a whole chassis. I dunno i have $85....i can buy a body and transmission and work on the frame or i can buy the tlt kit and try to work on the chassis with just the axles. i will have the money on the 13th to really get all the core parts. Should i buy the body and trans or the kit for the axles first?

If it were me I'd start on the body just because I can PM someone about axle widths and all. build around the body and the tranny. Should give you plenty to do till next week, then order the TLT kit and you will be ready to set up the 4links and shock mounting locations by the time you get it and put it together

A thing to note: Don't make the bottom the same as the top make it to just fit the tranny and you'll be good.
