From my '59 panel,
Bottom vent to top of arch looks like 12.5"...
from bottom of rocker to top of arch looks like 6.25"
from the very front of the arch to the jack point looks like 10.5"

| Would anyone know the measurements of the wheelwells for a 61 single cab? Could someone measure from the bottom of the bed down?"under the lip" |

| A 62 should have liped wheelwells, I need someone who has "flat" wheelwells on a singlecab to measure it for me. |
