I am building a 53 chassis and will be installing motor mounts soon and this question will come up. I am going to remove all the sheetmetal (from another truck) after I have the second chassis completed, so I cannot put the cab and fenders on to check measurments. Maybe some others could take some measurments also so I can come up with a GOOD consenseous (sp) The axle centerline on these trucks is the same I am told!! The SBC spark plug for #1 cylinder should be a good measuring point also. I do not want to cut the firewall or move the engine to the rear.
SOLIDAXEL,
i have not forgotten about you. Are you asking for the distance from the mustang II center line?
