Measuring the Wheel Base!!!
One of the reasons I decided to go ahead and buy the 56 F100 was
because it had a 8’ bed and the wheel base was 118”.
My International 1976 Scout II had a wheel base of 118”. So in the
back of my mind I knew that maybe some day I could try to put the scout under it.
 Even if the
wheel base on your change over frame is a little long there are ways to
compensate for it. You could:
- Extend the box and running boards!
- Put a spacer in between the box and cab-(a rack of some kind)
- Extend the running boards.
- Shorten or extend the frame (not recommended)
Remember your working with metal so you can make things work.
 Here's a picture of the truck when I had it apart and sanded.
This is the first project!
