Might hit up a local body shop and see if they might give you the information.

Not sure if the Upfitters guide for your year will have what you’re looking for, but here is a link.

The other thing you can do is find the center line of your vehicle and assume an amount of symmetry.

Would be interested in how you are planning to straighten the frame out and what you will use as a fiduciary point to measure from, especially if you don’t have a frame rack.

Ouch! Hope he’s good! I once drove off a ledge and hit the frame hard with a Ram. Brought it to a frame aligning specialist who was able to fix it. Power to you if you can fix it!

Here’s a basic frame chart....

Not sure if it’s helpful or not?

Nice! Didn’t even knew these charts existed!

You could try to get an assembly manual. Helms I think.

Lucky for him i am / was... a frame specialist and his grandfather is still doing bodywork at 78 !! I bailed out of body work in 1996 to try to make a living. I did all the symetrical measuring and concluded the lower rear A arm mount has rotated in and under 7/8 of an inch. I did end up getting a chart from one of the old shops i helped on occasion. apparently now days you have access to charts by online subscription. I just wanted accurate and detailed measurements. I did all my work on a rack and dad only has pulling towers and pots which i consider for unibody. I will have to make due unless i eat crow and take it in ! I will at least give it a try . thanks for responding
