I need a measurement from the end of the frame to the rear body mounts.

Mike, from where to where exactly do you want the measurments from? I'll give you any measurement that I can get for you. My truck frame has been cut down in the back as well as some unique fabrication in the front.

Thank you! Kim57 gave me the info i was seeking. I needed measurement of the frame from the center of the rear body mount to the end of the frame.

You can back into the dimension using the attached sketch. It shows the dimension from the back of the frame to the rear axle centerline. It also shows the dim from the rear axle centerline to dash. Add those together and subtract the distance from the dash to rear cab mount and you have it. It also has the dim from rear axle centerline to back of cab so you could measure from back of cab to mount and add them together too. Factory Assy manual probably has what you need exactly but I don't have it with me.
