[SEL] Economy Cart Dimensions

[Curt]

Nope, this is the distance from tread to tread along the width of the cart.

It is 76.75 axle to axle along the length of the cart on a drop frame 
cart. It is MUCH longer on a straight railed cart. I am of the opinion 
that the same length of steel was used to make both the straight and 
drop frame carts. When they bent the rails this made the drop cart much 
shorter.
