If you are trying to stuff it in a garage, you'll need 14'

That's how much you'll need to fit the truck in a garage. That's approximately how long the truck is.

I thought you were referring to bed length. That's what I get for posting before bed after a 65hr work week.

Hot Rod I think you need to invest in a tape measure.

How tall is your truck?
