vwfast67 Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 Trying to find the specs on my truck. Have found the width, length, and other info on standard cabs, but looking for wheelbase on king cabs. Looking to do a drive train swap. Trying to do some homework on if it would work. 1 Quote Link to comment
qwik510 Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 According to Wikipedia, here are the wheelbase measurements. Wheelbase 2,545 mm (100.2 in)[4] 2,785 mm (109.6 in) (G/GN620)[4] The long bed and King cab shared the same long wheelbase. 1 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 The drive trains are all pretty much the same from '74 through '79. Only the rear most of the two part driveshaft is different to account for the regular cab short wheelbase and the Long Bed and King Cab long wheelbase length differences. The '72-'73 were all short wheelbase reg cab with a shorter transmission and longer driveshaft than the '74-'79. 1 Quote Link to comment
denmarkboy Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 I found that the extra length is added after the cab mounts at the back of the kc cab . If you measure from the rear cab mounts to the front core support you'll see they are the same as the standard cab . And if you mounted a standard bed to the same truck you would have a 9.6 inch gap between the bed and cab . 2 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 On a reg cab long wheelbase this is absolutely true. On the King Cab (which is also a long wheelbase truck) A standrd bed will fit perfectly because the cab is about this much longer. You can swap a a King Cab and box onto a reg cab long wheelbase frame but the front two bed mounts have to be cut off and moved to the rear this amount. 1 Quote Link to comment

Datsunlover620 Posted April 22, 2018 Report Share Posted April 22, 2018 Hello, does anyone know how big the king cab 620 is, compared to the single cab 620? I would like to know the length of both trucks from bumper to bumper. Thanks. 1 Quote Link to comment
