Default Frame measurement required

Looking for the distance (center to center) between # 2 and # 3 body mounts on the frame. Had to remove both of my # 3 mounts to repair frame sections, now need to weld new mounts back on. Anyone have this dimension.

Thanks in advance.

Jeff,
Just to be sure you are talking about the #2 mount under the kick panel to the #3 mount just in front of the rear wheel, right? On a '77?

41 1/16"

Mike
