    Cut the sheetrock out in front of the truck, that will give you about 2 to 2.5 inches, then take one of the hinges off of the garage door. You just might clear then.

    garage has a thicker sheetrock for fire code. You can't just park into studbay of the garage wall as it will void homeowners insurance, fire code and the habitation permit.

    yeah my garage uses structural sheetrock and its several feet thick in order to keep zombie hordes at bay.

    More seriously, you need to move the cab of your truck onto a shorter wheelbase vehicle, sort of like this [​IMG]
