28-3/8" outside to outside of frame rails
(just checked my '71 GMC frame for square, getting ready-to-sandblast it) |

Frame checking dimensions can be found in the factory chassis service manual. See RTFM.

X out the frame body mounts they should be 1/4 " or better these old frames are famous for twist and diagonal shift from even minor accidents or plowing snow with the 4x4s
