I am going to pick up a bare chassis this weekend and wondering the length of it. If anyone would tell me the size of just the chassis with nothing else but floor pans on it would be a great help!

Thanks!

Without the front and rear axle that would be +- 1,40 x 2,5metres

From the wheelbase given above and this drawing, you could scale to get a pretty good number.

This is swingaxle with frame arms for the tranny. IRS may be different if your "chassis" excludes the diagonal arms.
