The farst section will list wheelbase, front track and rear track of vehicles '''in inches''', so that those interested in frame swaps or clip swaps can find the correct donor vehicle. Dimensions will be listed left to right as wb/ft/rt followed by the year, make and model of the vehicle. For instance: 86.0, 50.6, 50.3 -- 1952 Morris Minor. If one or more of the dimensions are unknown, NA should be inserted in that space. For instance, if the wheelbase of the Morris were unknown, it would be listed as NA, 50.6, 50.3 -- 1952 Morris Minor. If the wheelbase were known, but the front and rear track were unknown, it would be listed as 86.0, NA, NA -- 1952 Morris Minor.

Most often, wheelbase is the dimension from the center point at the end of the front axle or spindle to the center point of the end of the rear axle.  Note that the measurement could also be described as being between the center points of the circles described by the front and rear wheels on the same side of the vehicle.
