Frame measurement ???
Hey everyone, I am in the process of putting a mustang II front end in my 53. Bought it from Heidts and the crossmember seems to have about a 1/2" of play on BOTH sides when held in place. I know this is to much, so before I call I wanted to know some measurments from people. I searched the site and only seem to find that the width of the frame is 34" outside to outside which is what mine is. I am wanting to know inside to inside, my shop is about an hour away so this seemed easier. Thanks alot ahead of time.

Both, they should be close to the same? I think. Basically on the centerline of the axle, please. (The directions say 19 1/2" back from the center of the front leaf spring hole(big one)).
Thanks
Thanks

I've got 29.75 inches between the rails on the 55, the rails themselves are about 2 3/16 I'm seeing a few members have taken up the difference with an additional plate, must be "stacking of unfavorable tolerances" ....??? Good Luck!

Make sure you only tack in place,put fenders back on o make sure wheels are centered in opening.I used their measurement and have to cut my tavk welds to move back about 1/4'' to set perfectly.
