Title: Wheelbase 1951 old look 4509 35ft transit? Same as 35ft fishbowl transit?

Uh-O  third bus..
I need to know the wheelbase for this model I'm looking into purchasing/shipping one.  Looked all over,  I know the width is 96" and height is 10'1" Looks like it might be close to the same as Fishbowls?

Eh.. Looks like it can't be more than 20ft...In a manual I found in 1968 the 35ft fishbowl Transit and Suburban is 235" so 19.5ft...

I did some looking today, but the exact wheelbase wasn't listed.
