Default Body mount measurements

Could someone give me the #2 & #3 body mount measurements. I took the cage nuts off to rebuild them and I need to get them back in the right spots. I should have taken the measurements before I took them off but I was on a roll!

Tanks, Chip

I took my #2-3 mounts off the frame so I could spray undercoating inside. I just centered them over the hole in the frame and welded them back in place. Run a bolt down the nut to help center it. Remember, the frame hole is larger in diameter than the bolt, and the caged nut allows wiggle room for mounting the body. Everything went together for me as before taking them off. Never took any measurments, if it offers you any confidence.

This might be of some help, it's for a 69-72 though.
