Distance between front frame horns

Hello all,
Does anyone have a measurement for the distance between the front frame horn bumper bracket holes? I suspect my frame rails are bent. I bought the truck with front end damage, and am now re-assembling. I have a '91 F-150 that the distance is approximate 37.5", but the distance on this '88 F-350 is looking more like 36".

Thanks in advance!

I measured between the inside bumper bolts on my '91 F150 and it is 33 1/8" center to center.

OK I just had the truck on the lift so I measured inside the frame horns and it's 35 3/4" on mine. I know that is not the measurement you are asking for, but I cannot get that with the bumper on the truck cuz other stuff up under there is in the way.

Perfect! I appreciate it. This is just what I needed. It looks like my frame horns are slightly bent in. About 1.5" from my reckoning. Thanks!
