Cutting the frame horns off on S10 swap

Just wanted to ask everyone that has done the S10 frame swap how far in front of the bolt for the s10 steering box did you cut the frame horns off. I'm starting to mock the body on the frame and have to build body, running board, and bed mounts. I have no reference points for mounting, since I didn't take either truck apart and picked up someones project.

Mine was about 1/4" in front of the steering box bolt, right along the sleeve to keep you from crushing the frame.
