Does anybody know the length of the frame of a non-winch truck? The frame was cut earlier in its life.

352 OR 353

I am thinking that the last 4 holes on the far side of the top pix are for the diagonal brace for the pintle. I think they are too far forward to be the bumperette mounting holes,

What are you doing (bottom pix) making a new frame?

It is the LWB 353. The frame was cut (shortened) before he got the truck. I don't know what for? It did not have a bed on it. The bottom pic is the extensions. Just wondering the length to cut at.

Thanks guys

Hi Troy
I checked the TM and overall length of a 353 less winch is 256 1/4 bumper to bumper. I went out and measured my non winch 353, frame only less front and rear bumpers 20ft 6 3/4"

What he really needs is the dimension from a rear reference point.

I would suggest a measurement from the center of the rear spring mounting to the end of the rear crossmember (not the bumperettes).

Well the frame is just about done. I know Jim measured 20ft 6 3/4" less front and rear bumpers I just want to double check from the last hole (on the original part of the frame in photo) to the end of it. Thanks so much.
