Rembrant Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Jein. We have a document that appears to give any dimension you want, but it isn't quite like that one. It is the 1985 Body Builder's Book here: http://www.garysgaragemahal.com/1985-body-builders.html. See if it helps. Gary, There is some really great info in that documentation, but I don't see the info that I'm looking for. Maybe it doesn't exist, but what I'm curious about is the location of the body mount holes, and the dimensions to check/measure the frame for straightness, particularly the front end of the frame, from the main engine cradle/crossmember forward. If it doesn't exist, then no big deal, I just figured I'd look around (and ask). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I measured between the frame rails at each crossmember and then ran a string down the center marks. It easily showed how the front was off.

Out of curiosity, what did you do to straight yours if it was off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But start reading here: http://forum.garysgaragemahal.com/Big-Blue-s-Transformation-tp28014p35345.html. You'll find that I used a come-along and three chain/boomer combo's, like this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
