Wheel base?

[Alain K]

Can i determine the wheel base of a truck from the vin number? The factory sticker in the drivers door jam has been removed

we could tell you if you told us what year...

04 crews were either 152 or 174 depending on long bed or short

reg. cab = 137.0"

Supercab SWB = 141.8"

Supercab LWB = 158.0"

Crewcab SWB = 156.2"

Crewcab LWB = 172.4"

These figures are out of the 2008 brochure.

I dont know if the other years were different.

thanks bamasixgun, its an 03 reg cab

If i were to replace the current frame with another one longer, would i just need a longer drive shaft as far as the drivetrain is concerned?

 

[BamaSixGun]

I guess so, but I don't know if the drive shaft would be the only thing you
would need to change.

That is a question answered by someone other than me. sorry.

man lots of changes between wheelbase/frame...mostly from the rear
side but, fuel lines, springs, bed, wiring, tank size/mounts...and thats
just if you were to change the bed length !
