Measurement Needed

I didn't think to measure the distance across the engine cross member before I cut it. It only moved a little when I cut through so it won't be a big deal if no one has it. Would any of you fine people happen to have that info?

Okay Wally, I get 29 inches at the backside of where the crossmember is (right before the steeringbox plate) and 29 inches in the middle.... in the front of where the crossmember begains the frame gets wider (about where the factory notches are for the crossmember section) it measures 29.25 inches

hope that helps you out. BTW, i measured my 65.
