I'm trying to find the dimension between the front frame rails where the lower front cross brace bolts on (under the shock towers). A center to center at the bolt holes would be a big help! A measurement between the holes on the crossbrace itself should work. I'm replacing the left framerail and my original brace was bent; I have a repro brace but it seems too wide and don't trust it w/o checking it first.

Mine is measuring 29 5/8" . Does anyone have a "Body Assembly Manual"? Just wondering if they have better measurements than the "Service Manual". The measurements in my Service Manual are definately misprints. As of now, it looks like mine is 1/4" big.
