Cross member measurements

Does anyone have the crossmember and inner frame support measurements....or a box off there truck to go measure some thing for me? I'm doing a leaf to coil swap and thought there would be , at least a few bolt hole that would line up , but no such luck....and the manual is a bit deceiving in it's measurements. Thanks

Re: Cross member measurements

the trailing arm holes are there, but not for the coil saddles or the cross member that holds the shocks , or the inner braces for the frame just in front of the shock cross member....damm i wish i still had that parts truck, i took some pics , but had to do it with the bed on ....and now they don't look as usfull as i though...

Re: Cross member measurements

Powerbench I'm finishing the same swap with my 68' short bed.It's 42" from the end of the frame rail to the center of the cross member. When I was done I realized there is an oblong hole in the side of the rail that was dead center of the cross member.Everything came out good alignment wise on mine.I'm over removing rivets though.
