1970 Barracuda trunk floor support measurements

[BTekulve]

Looking for dimensions for where to put the trunk floor supports off of the frame rails (front and rear measurements) or distance between them if they are centered from the fuel filler hole? Are they parallel or do they taper in or out at all? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

This image is not my car, but shows what measurements I am in need of.

Do the these photos help? Real close to 10" apart center to center of the two supports.

If you would measure the gas tank where the straps go. It would be the same. Center of straps. The gas tank hangs from there. That's what I thought you meant but a picture explains a lot.

Thanks for the measurements, that's is exactly what I was looking for.

My dad started to restore this car, but he cut the fuel tank, frame rails, and trunk support arms to narrow his rear end for wider tires. Unfortunately, he passed away and now I am picking up where he left off, but I am making it more road safe vs drag racing so I am having to redo some of the work he undid.

@BTekulve Did you get the pictures/measurements you needed?
I am a little confused by the measurement picture, no offense Xcudame.

I noticed his tape measure was in a few different locations in the pictures. But from the first picture alone, where you can see both supports, this was enough information.

It was hard holding the tape measure with one had and take a photo with my cell phone in the other hand.

Just wanted to make sure you didn't need another picture or measurement.
