Need frame help ASAP!
Frame is supposed to go to powder coat tomorrow. Decided to take measurments just to make sure it was straight. Ran my laser line from the hole in the rear crossmember to the hole in the front crossmember and all the measurments were dead on. I did freak a little when the trans mount and rear diff mount were not on the center line unitil I looked on the chasis specs and they are not lined up there either.
My question is at the very front of the frame, my measurement is exactly 32 7/8 from rail to rail but the measurements from the rails to the center line are not the same. On the drivers side I have 16 4/16 from rail to center line and on the passenger side I have 17 10/16 from rail to center line. Is this normal? I cannot find a spec on it any where, all it shows on the frame specs is 32 7/8 from rail to rail not if it is offset.
Help!!
If anyone needs a pic to visualize I will post one when my son gets home with the camera.

Engine is offset 1" to passenger side from the factory. Is this possibly a measurement you are seeing? Don't really understand what your talking about. 16 4/16 plus 17 10/16 = 33 7/8. You said you have 32 7/8
