    THANK-YOU DUSTER 344! (hope you can hear me), that's exactly what I am looking for! I did not think about the last measurement but that also will be helpful. No need to go trug around in the snow with the tape measure. These are all good. Thanks again.

    looking for 67 and newer A-body measurement

It could be as far to the rear as the lip on the firewall. The front could be six inches back from the core support. Just say...

    unibody question

    drill out all the spot welds and separate the frame rails from the floor pan. if not a factory frame, like a rear-halved car, cut them out with your favorite tool of destruction.
