Will Old Blue fit in the garage?

I am going to recovery my Grandpa's old 1985 W350 Crew Cab Short box. I am concerned it might not fit in the garage for the duration of the build. I have 20 feet 6 inches from wall to door. I see the new Ram 3500 Crew is 20 feet. How long is the old one? I am probably going to have to strip the bumpers to get it in, but how far will I need to go? Thanks guys!

Well I just went out to my w250 81 four door short box, 19'6". With bumpers. It's gonna be tight but should go in for ya. Post up some pics of the new truck, and good luck with the build they get overwhelming at times!
