Help... Need Measurement
 

I am needing to see if a crossmember I made will clear once a bed brace is removed.

Can someone please measure the gap between the top of the frame rails, and the bottom of the bed floor (with cross brace, and without)? I would need this measurement above the axle. I want to know if a 1-1/2" square tube sitting on top of the frame rails will clear under the bed floor.

Thanks in advance for your help.

7/8 in, thats it. 82 fleetside.

Thank you for that measurement. So, even if I remove the cross brace, my 1-2/2" square tube wont clear.

That's to the bottom of "ribs" correct?

Correct, the factory cross brace is small above the axle. Might have to mount your part under top frame flange.

I don't really want to re-do, but it sounds like I might have to. I was hoping to have more room, in between if I removed the cross brace, but it seems it will only be that 7/8".

I apologize, and just to confirm we are talking about the same spot on the bed. Are you measuring to point "A" or point "B"?
