Default I need a frame measurement
I
I am restoring my kickup where the trailing arm connects. This is the left side. I need a measurement from the edge of the bolt to the rear edge of the frame.
I know it's ugly.
Thank you.

Just incase someone needs to fix the trailing arm mount. 1/4 inch steel. Now I just need to figure out where the 7/16 hole goes.

I can get you these dimensions off a bare early 68 frame (no angle kickup braces) I have for a 68 project. What year do you have, 68? and likely the same for all early C3's but I do not know for certain?

I removed the other side and it isn't as rusted. I measured the bolt location and it's 3 inched forward of the edge of the frame.
