Variation in build length

Have been chatting on another forum and a guy that's sort-of involved in aviation says he has a friend who worked for Boeing and on one type of airliner, due to the large tolerances in the parts, made for up to 75 millimetres difference in length of the fuselage.

Sounds excessive to me, but I'd like to know how much variation there is in a large airliner fuselage length from new? I can't imagine it'd be more than 5mm or so .... ?
