"TECH TIP!"
When measuring for a custom
frame take note.
A modern day "UNI-BODY" car
(D) and (E) are measured from the bottom of the rocker panel.
Earlier cars and trucks can be measured from the top of the frame
for (D) and (E). If it is just for
a "Back-clip" it is best to measure
both top and bottom of frame.
