The Chevy is 6 inches longer than the Ford of the same model. That 6 inches is leg room in the cab. We tried each and went with the Chevy.

The Chevy is actually 9" longer. I think the front bumber sticks out forward the remaining 3".

The 9" difference means nothing to all but us who have a garage where the inches matter.

ron.dittmer is right again as usual.The Chevy Based Class C with the same "house" on it is 9 inches longer. I know that because when I went looking for mine I also had a length problem but just 9 inches was not a deal breaker.

When I measured,there were 3 on the lot,2 Fords and 1 Chevy. All the same 26Q Tiogas of the same year.

With my trusty Craftsman tape I measured them inside and out after taking them all for a test ride.

Here is what I found.

Length The Chevy is 9 inches longer.

But the real story is the interior.

The area from the Dog House to the kick panel,the floor board where your feet are.

The Chevy is 18 inches wide and mostly flat on drivers side.

The Ford is 15 inches wide but has a 2 inch rise that is 5 inches wide leaving only 10 inches of flat floor. Only 9 inches on passenger side.

With the seat pushed back as far as it goes on both the Ford And Chevy. Both having Stock Factory seats
I found.
Foot well depth to front of seat. Chevy 31 inches Ford 27 inches

Seat back to steering wheel. Chevy 26 inches Ford 23 inches

Front of seat to Dash. Chevy 29 inches Ford 23 inches 6" More leg room!

Dog House width,measured at dash Chevy 15 inches Ford 23 inches, 4 inches less knee room for passenger and driver.

Dog House depth into cab from dash Chevy 8 inches Ford 11 inches

(These are not facts only the opinion of my Craftsman Tape Measure your opinion's may vary)

Otherwise I have to get my Flameproof Suit on and put up my Rock Shield.:B

Happy Motoring.
