Does anyone have this info? I combed through the old DC Chassis manual and the WWW thinking that these kind of critical dimension would be published somewhere. Like under "front suspension" or "Engine Swaps" or "K frames" or "Header Fabrication".....no luck Seems like a '101' kind of question but i can't find anything like a table or chart for the various years and chassis published anywhere

On my 69 Barracuda body in white (no T bars installed), the anchors in the transmission cross member are 24 5/8" c/c.
The holes in the loose K frame for the LCA shafts are 24 1/2" c/c. Therefore the T bars are not quite parallel to each other.
This car is in very good condition and has never been wrecked. These dimensions must be factory original.

According to the 1969 Plymouth factory service manual:
Page 23-148, for Valiant and Barracuda, "front spring(s)" at the K frame are 24.46" c/c. No mention of A body anchor dimensions in FSM.
Page 23-147, for Satellite, K frame T bar holes are 26.42". No mention of Satillite anchor dimensions in FSM.
Page 23-145, for Fury, "center line of anchors" is 24 7/8". No mention of Fury K frame dimensions in FSM.
