    Frame width w/Tires?

    Hey guys. Have looked at a few body buck plans, but can't seem to find the actual dimensions of the frame without the body on it. I have a donated buck that was built exactly to the dimensions of the FFR manual, but looks like the plywood sections for that plan might not be wide enough to roll over the frame once legs are attached. This buck is 69" wide and just wanted to double check before I go an buy some plywood to cut some new pieces.

    I've got three of them here right now; 2 IRS and one live axle all with 315s on FFR wheels---they all measure between 70" and 71" sidewall to sidewall.
