Im gunna go work on my the ole 67 today but before I head out there I want to swing in and get some sheet metal and some metal to make the rear most xmember since mine was scraped. I hate that I cant just go out and take the measurement for myself since the truck is 20 miles away. I plan on getting about 34 inches long so I have some room to trim to fit but I need to know how tall the frame rail is from the inside edge to inside edge where the rear xmember rivet hole is. Anybody? I searched and searched but just was having no luck. Thanks a million.

Thanks for your willingness to help. I made it to Pacific steel earlier today and just picked up a 10'x4' sheet of 18 gauge cold rolled steel. I'll get the metal for the cross member another time. Although I made it out to my truck and took a quick measurement. Its roughly 4" from the inside bottom to the inside top of the frame with the frame thickness being 3/16s, over all frame height of 4 3/8" at the rear. Thanks again and keep on truckin!

yeah, I just got in and checked mine right in front of that last crossmember and it is 4.25" top to bottom on the inside of the 'rail.

Is this the crossmember you mean-all the way at rear,has a hole for the taillight wiring harness to go through?
