Mike..
I stand to be corrected but CMP wheel bases were 158.5",..134.5"..and 101 "
But then there is the HUP...who knows what the wheel base was on those things..maybe Mr HUP will enlighten us...

Measure the wheel base from the axle centers..then come back and give us the real length..
Check your tape measure..maybe the missus cut a chunk off the end to measure up something..
I don't recognize 119" on any wheel base I know..

I have managed to get myself a job in Germany which means we will be moving in the not too distant future. Sadly I will not be able to take the CMP with me so I have to offer it up for sale. Look out for it in the the for sale section.
