Yep! just went downstairs and measured the new stock rear box..
it's for a late model (frame all the way to the rear bumper)
and it's only 22" wide. And I know it just fits. Geesshh.. I almost bought a
GT6 unit too. I wanted the higher flow rate.
Talk about lucky!
Sorry to hear it won't fit after going through all that hassle to get it
from
overseas. Bummer!
