I measure between 36-1/4" and 36-3/8" on my '70 Cuda.  That would be the distance between the frame surfaces that the bumper brackets mount to.

Find a good frame shop... I'm about to get mine straightened out too. Then get some frame connectors welded in.  :2cents:   It can be fixed. Or at least straightened.

thats the problem around here i wouldnt trust them for nothing..i got all xv stuff stiffening stuff so i got that covered..oh i really dont think it got the frame rail..i see no kinks,buckles,and side to side im good..but i may have to do something to check the north and south of the frame rail..
