Frame Question
 
I am restoring a 67 stepside shorty. As I disassembled the truck I noticied someone before me did some pretty crappy mods on the front of the frame. Looks like a blind man with a torch did some cutting. I have re-squared the front but need to get an exact length for the frame before I can repair the damage. I can seem to find the specs for everything with the exception of actual total frame length. Can anybody help me out with this? Thanks Disturbed:whine:

Thanks for the diagram! I have one similar but it doesn't show the total length. Disturbed:thumbs:

Shows 179.24 in picture posted overall and 115.00 for wheel base from my view of it.

Just an observation and correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't there a typo with one of the dimensions on the drawing? On the plan view of the frame - top drawing looking down at frame, front of frame, there is a dimension of 16.44 from core support mount to center line - or half the distance across. But then the core support mount to core support mount. dimension is only 32.38 which would make the passanger side 1/2" narrower than the drivers. Should be 32.88
