I was out working on the 69 today and was looking in my CD 69 B body service manual and I cannot find any actual measurement for the rear frame rails, it had one diagram but I thought I had seen a different one with better measurements somewhere (maybe here) If anyone has one I would really appreciate it if you post it as I am getting ready to install the rear sheetmetal on my Daytona.  :2thumbs:

Thanks Charlie, but that is the same one I have I had searched and remember seeing a different one posted before. Oh well I will use this one although it's not real specific.
