'51 F1 dimension needed

First off - thanks for any help you can offer.

I have my truck all stripped apart down to the bare frame (actually I'm building a custom frame but the truck is stripped apart as well)

I need to know how much clearance there is between the cab floor and the top of the frame. I know its virtually zero at the very front mounts. Can someone (with their truck still together)give me some dimensions at the 'mid' mounts and at the rear??

Thanks much!!!

Space between the cab floor and the top of the frame is 3/4" inline with both the mid and rear mounts. On my truck anyway.

I did a complete frame-off rebuild a couple of years ago so that measurement is with new bushings/cab mounts.
