I've thought that GM made only two lengths in 55-59 panel trucks . Now I wonder if there were three . My "new" one is longer than the ones I've had in the past , but appears to be shorter than some I see pictures of. Can any tell me what lenghts were offered in panel trucks from 55-59? Thanks
I have a 57 3805 panel truck, wheelbase 135, there is a smaller version with a 113 wheel base. I got this info from ordering a booklet from chevy duty actually.
Panels came in 1/2 ton 3/4 ton and 1 ton models and then even some freeky styles such as custom Limos and Taxis. Following that I would say the wheelbases would be 114" 123: and the 135" frame as described. www.ricos-rods-and-relics.com My trucks: 56 SWB Stepside Small Window 57 SWB Stepside Big Window 58 LWB Stepside 2B Ext.
