Frame measurement

Hi, does anyone have a stripped frame and can make some measurements for me?? As you can see in the picture my frame has gotten some beating. If anyone could make cross and straight over measurements (from center to center of holes) for me it would be great!

If nobody can give you these measurements from their frame, I have the 1966 Ford Body Builders’ Layout Book that will have a schematic showing them. Stu

Thanks!
Did not give me all the measurements. I would like to cross measure to make sure the frame is ok and have not moved out of its position

I’m no help. The schematic on the linked Fordification page is the same as in the book. Stu

I was able to get a few measurements. I hooked the tape on the edge of the holes best I could

Take these with a grain of salt as I’m not aware of my frame ever being tweaked, but can’t swear it isn’t. The diagonal measurements do seem to be about 1/4” different from one another and I checked diagonal from both the top bumper hole and the radiator holes, hooking the tape as best I could. For the straight measurements written on the sticky note I actually did outside-to-outside, so those are very accurate measurements.
