    hey guys, trying to figure if my garage will be able to store a 49-54 chevy/ford shoebox when i purchase one(yes finally decided on a car after all my previous questions). the only reference that i have was a previous cl***ic that i had which was a 73 C10 SWB which damn near took up my garage from the garage door to the water heater. so my question is, if anyone knows the bumper to bumper length for these cars (ie not wheelbase).

    thanks

    Less than 20' but build your garage as big as possible. You'll wish you had later.
