Default 1999 Dodge Ram 1500 wheelbase

I just bought a 99 Ram 1500 SLT with club cab. I am trying to round up exhaust parts and need to know which wheel base I have for the intermediate pipe. I am assuming it is the 139 inch but want to be sure. Any experts on this??

Mine is a regular cab, 8' box. 135" WB. I assume an extended cab with a 6' box would be 139", and an extended cab with 8' box is 155". Of course no amount of speculation will work as good as a tape measure.



And getting a build sheet will also answer that question, if you don't have a tape measure. And the build sheet is very useful for other info.

short bed. Are you talking measure axle to axle or measure the pipe? Previous owner had exhaust replaced with custom exhaust, so I have nothing there to measure. I want to replace the whole thing from front to back

Get a tape measure .

Put the end of it at the center of the rear wheel hub cap(have someone hold it) Pull the tape out towards the front wheel and measure the distance to the center of the front wheel hub. This is pretty simple bud.
