Frame Spacing Dimensions

The transmission mount was cut out on my 1950 ford and the cab mounts were loose. Can anyone tell me what the frame spacing should be at the transmission mount location? I need to build a mount for my aod transmission. Thank You

I can go out and measure my '49 frame, but I'm not real sure of what dimension you are looking for exactly.

Thanks for responding. What I want is distance across the frame rails from the outside edges right behind the top transmission mount rivet. Or between the frame top flanges. Thank you.

Here's a pic of my frame, the hole in the frame is where the trans mount used to be. Does this help? I'm reading 29 3/8" inside flange to inside flange:

Ok, thanks. Mine measures 29 5/8" at that point. According to my cab mount holes I need to pull to squeeze the frame in 1/4" so they will be 45 1/2" spacing to match the cab. Thanks again.

OK. Here is the trans crossmember that I made to support my 4R70W.








I bolted it to the bottom of the frame.
