- Width of the mount that bolts to the cab
- Length of mount that bolts to the cab
- Height of mount (that bolts to the cab) to top of frame rail.
- Distance of center line of farthest hole to outside edge of the frame.

Thanks again for this MARTINSR. Hopefully it makes sense.
I have to tell you, I don't think these numbers are going to do any good for you. You may have it in your head but it depends how accurate I measure! And where, center to center, full length, that sort of thing.

I can take photos and do it so you can copy what is there, but it sounds like you plan on making them a little different. So if that is the case just knowing the distance from the frame to the bottom of the cab is all you need.

I will make the measurements you ask for but honestly, I don't see how you can use them if you are changing how they work anyway.
