The original frame is probably still under the truck but even then you should be able to get a measurement off the frame to the center line of the wheel/axle so you can match it on the one with the subframe. As 59 Chevy said TF guys tend to jocky the axle location when they install a subframe to better center the wheel in the opening in their view. One of my buddies has done about 25 of them and he does that but I don't have a clue as to how much he moves them forward. Most guys do it because they don't like the look of the wheel and tire in the wheel well when the wheel is turned out when the rig is parked if it sets too far
