    I think those dimensions are avaialable on speedwaymotors.com
    Keep in mind,some of the aftermarket bodies are longer than stock.

    After I get moved I am going to start on my '24 T. I am taking a TT cab and building it t bucket style. What I am trying to find our is if the cab will fit on the standard 103" wheelbase ch***is or if I need a longer one. I plan to use a Buick 455 and 400 ****** (out of same car), a quickchange if my boss will sell it to me affordibly and a 6" tube axle with a spring behind setup. and corvair steering.

    just a guess, but it will probably fit, If your tall, or dont want to chop the firewall, Id add 3-4" through the middle of the ch***is (that is if you plan to build it yourself...)

    Wheelbase is 101" on a home made ch***is - Spring over in front and the body is notched for the kickup in the rear. (The kickup rails barely intrude - maybe 2")
