53-56 Rear Cab Mount spacing

While still waiting on the bodyshop to fix my 56 BBW I decided to work on my small window 56. Both rear cab corners (inner & outer) are shot. In my haste to see how bad the cab really was a removed on of the two rear cab mounts with out measuring it. Now I need the center of the bolt hole to center of the bolt hole measurement.
A few pictures, why? Because we love pictures


Opening the can of worms



Inner cab corner



Must be 15 spotwelds on this thing



The drivers side rear cab mount



All the old



This is where I need the measurement.



So I can continue installing the inner cab corner.

I can run out to my cab when I get home today.
But, I'm not sure I follow what measurement you need. Gotta remember, I'm a bit dense sometimes.

Trying to find out where to reinstall the upper rear cab mount. One floor mount is still in place so I just need from one mount hole to the other.
OBTW the mount is ALSO the rear seat mount as well.

Whenever you get the time. I've got other stuff to do until I get the measurement.

Thanks Björn but that's much to small. I would guess it would be closer to a meter from one side of the cab to the other.
Center to center of rear cab mounting bolt holes.

Oh, that's what you need.
I just went out and measured as best I could. I got 47 1/2".
How exact do you need?

I took one out on the driver's side and didn't measure it BEFORE I took it off so now I have to figure out where to reinstall it.
