I cross measured from the outside edges of firewall to the end of the frames. I used one of these ribs on each side of the firewall as the starting point and went to the farthest point on the front edge of the frame

Measure from the inner rocker to the frame use the same spots for both sides or an X measurement is always a good method like for instance measure the drivers rear inner rocker to the right front fender mount. Do it opposite on the other side the measurements should be the same remember if you have to move go only HALF of the number needed. Jim

I start the cab mount bolts and leave them loose then hang the doors, then fenders & rad support. once everything is bolted up and square THEN torque the cab mount bolts
