'40s COE size?
 

Dumb question I couldn't find the answer to using the search function: What is the height and length of a '40-'47 COE? I realize the answer could vary with bed type, but maybe some of you could head out to your garage with a measuring tape?

I'd love to own one some day, but I'm not sure I've got any place to keep it. My garage is decent sized, but probably not THAT big.

Height is about 7 1/2 feet.

Length depends on the wheelbase. There are 3 models: 101", 134" and 158". It is 32" from the front bumper to the front axle.

So overall length would be 32" + wheelbase + overhang behind rear axle.

Exactly what I'm looking for. I've got about 91", unless I get one of those side-mounted door openers (looks like maybe I have to). Length doesn't seem to be a problem, I've got about 250"

Since "about 7 1/2 feet" is pretty darn close to your 91" opening, I rechecked more carefully today. Looks like 89" for the height. With the curved top of the cab it isn't very easy to be exact.

Still a pretty tight fit.

Yeah, I'm not sure how well this would work. Getting a side-mount garage door opener would gain me a couple inches, but I still wouldn't be able to jack it up inside.

In all of the years since I got my 47 in 1974, I don't remember jacking it up. There is a heck of a lot of space under it with those 20" rims.

I suppose changing tires or doing a brake job would need it to be jacked up some. But I've had those tasks done.
