39 Radius Rod measurement

[3739ford]

I'm going to open drive on my 39 Ford Pickup and was wondering if someone could tell me the measurement from the ground up to where the radius rods connected to the torque tube. I'm fabricating my own mount and want it close to original position as possible.

It doesn't matter from the ground up.
The new mount needs to be DIRECTLY under the front U-joint cross and as close to the U-joint as possible.
Remember, with this system, not only the rotational torque of the rear end but most of the forward driving force for the car is delivered through the wishbone.
Make your radius rods (wishbone) and connecting cross member PLENTY STRONG.

Thanks Pete, I plan on making it plenty strong probably overkill, but don't want it to come loose.
