The following procedure should be used whenperforming these measurements.A tolerance of plus or minus (±) 0.12 in (3 mm) Is acceptable onframe measurements unless otherwise stated.Bolts, nuts, studs, and nonremovable plugs are shown on illustrationsas solid objects. Holes are shown as outlines.Ensure that any drivetrain, exhaust, or suspension components areremoved as required to obtain direct point-to-point measurements.1.Measure all bolts, nuts, studs, and nonremovable plugs from center-to-center.2 .On bottom view illustrations, measurement points at a 90 degree angle to centerline should be an equal distance from centerline,± 0.12 in. (± 3 mm). Diagonal measurementsshould be the same, ±0.19 in. (±5 mm), and should cross at centerline.NOTEThe datum line is an imaginary line parallel to floor at lowest point onframe.3 .Measure all dimensions on side view illustrations from center-to-center. Attach datum gages atpoints on frame to be measured. Measure all length dimensions parallel to datum line.Measure all height dimensions at a 90 degree angle to datum line.9 - 3
