Trailing Arm Crossmember Relocation

[Low4lyfe]

I recently converted my 68' Long Bed to a Short Bed, using the 45 degrees cut method behind the cab of the truck. When taking out the crossmember I totally forgot to mark where I am suppose to relocate it.

Does anyone have any advice? I know I have to locate it 12" forward but from what location points should I use as a reference? Cab mounts are still removed.

Thanks everyone. I appreciate it.

use the rivet holes from where you removed the crossmember?

Well those holes were cut out when I removed the 12" section from the frame. I do still have the front (closer to the engine) factory rivet holes for the cab though.

I apologize for the stupid question but this is all new to me.
