jbhill Posted January 4, 2007 Posted January 4, 2007 any one know the factory wheel base measurements for long and short beds? i need to find out if my parts truck is a long bed or not, i got 113in from center of hub to center of hub for my 87 short bed. also how do i tell what options it had factory from the vin number(ie metric ton package)
JOMJ87 Posted January 4, 2007 Posted January 4, 2007 You can look at the leaves for the metric tonn I think they had more or thicker ones. Also the rear axle should be a AMC 20 or a D44 if it is metric ton. Cole
jbhill Posted January 4, 2007 Author Posted January 4, 2007 how do i tell that?is it stamped ont he rear end or does it have a tag?
JOMJ87 Posted January 4, 2007 Posted January 4, 2007 The shape of it If its got alot of flat sides then its prob a 44 if its a basketball its a 20 if its niether of those its a 35. Thers pics somewhere on here. Cole
Pete M Posted January 4, 2007 Posted January 4, 2007 113 is a short bed and that won't be a Metric Ton. There's always the possibility of a different axle being swapped in though.
CWLONGSHOT Posted January 4, 2007 Posted January 4, 2007 SWB = 113 LWB= 120 1986 models w/metric ton where AMC20's all other years where D44's. D44 In a MJ: Image Not Found Image Not Found D35 in a MJ: AMC 20 in a MJ: Cannot find the pic I hijacked from Pete...maybe he can throw one up for you to see.... CW

jbhill Posted January 4, 2007 Author Posted January 4, 2007 kool thx for the info guys, i measuer wheel base it is a shortbed, so from what ive read, tehy didnt make short bed metric ton mjs, correct?
JOMJ87 Posted January 4, 2007 Posted January 4, 2007 Corect but it still could have a 44 as we have found out over the last few months there are more the a couple I know of thats had them. CHeck those pics in the link I posted and see what you got. Also The guy in need of a bed is interested since it is a SWB. Ill pm him or you can he posted in the classifieds in that thread I started about it. Cole
Oizarod115 Posted January 4, 2007 Posted January 4, 2007 SWB = 113 D44 In a MJ: Image Not Found CW OUCH! thats got some SERIOUS cancer going on.
87manche Posted January 4, 2007 Posted January 4, 2007 naw, the frames fine,. it's just everything that wasn't painted. most everything up this way looks like that underneath. People in the rust belt love 3 things: PB Blaster Torches Air Tools They're needed for most everything that goes on under my truck, and everything get's put back together with neverseize.
jbhill Posted January 4, 2007 Author Posted January 4, 2007 i HATE rust. :fool: the manufactorers for poorly designing wiper cowls on fords :headpop: sorry had to vent haha
