any other sites with specs?

i'm getting nervous.
the uhaul man said that it had to have 41" minimum (don't know if he meant
inside the tires or center to center - i'll check).
the link that someone else posted
(http://www.datsuns.com/modelguide/modelguide-roadster.htm) lists the same
BODY width (58.9") for both the 1500 & 1600, but i'm having trouble reading
the distance between tires (if that is even on the picture).
any other sites with specs?
also, i need to get a shop manual, what's the best source?
thanks
tim

Tim,
It may not work for a 64 or 65. They 1500s have narrower tracks than the
1600s and 2000s. You should measure the narrowest width capacity of the
trailer and get the tire to tire width of the Roadster to be sure. I know
of one Roadster owner that tried a U-Haul with a 1500 and could NOT get the
car on it.

U Haul car trailer works fine, I rented one in LA, drove to SD, then up to
the mountains, and back to LA with a 1600 on it. Didn't cost that much
either. The U Haul trailer has ramps and tie down ratchet straps, I used a
Jeep Grand Cherokee 6 cyl. No problem.
