measurements for A 180 body only
 

can anyone give me the dimensions, width at bottom and width at top. I have purchased a body only in CA and am having it shipped east and need to 1- know these dimensions to see whether it will fit in pickup and 2- any ideas on how best and cheapest to ship?
This is body only and weighs about 400 lbs I think. Email me at epetek1@gmail or respond here. Thanks for any help. pete

Here's a start. Any additional measurements you wish? These should be close enough to determine fit in a pickup.

Body width at widest point by the top irons 51" +/-
Body width just in front of the dash rail 47" +/-
Height at recessed rear floor to top of body 30" +/-
Length from back to front including cowl 88"
Width across bottom at cowl 40"
Width across bottom at rear of door 44"

What's the "Ooops" about? I measured my 180A

He posted a picture of a Phaeton, ...just a "more-door" Phaeton and not a 180. He changed the picture.

Some people don't read all the posts so I did not want to have someone save it incorrectly. Big mistake in the body style so big oops!:o

I'd check the open door width on a Ford or Chevy van, rent one, and drive it home. I know a 26-27 T Touring will fit inside an E350. Ford. Bob
