Sway bar retainer question?

I'm usually on the 61-66 forum. But I think one of you can answer this question better. I found a complete sway bar from a 78 F350 to put on my 65. My problem is we took it off and forgot to get a measurement of where the retainer holes need to be drilled in the frame.
Do any of you know a measurement from that hole in the frame flange to where the retainer goes?

First install it without drilling the holes. Meaning, mock it up.

Then drill the holes at normal ride height.

Thanks
That's a good plan, but I'm probably a year away from being at a normal ride height.

Then the bar and frame brackets are one of the last suspension components to be installed.
