Hand-drawn dimensioned chassis diagram on graph paper recording frame-rail and brake-disc measurements showing the front is 1.6875 inch narrower than rear.

AI caption · Photo 247 of 325

This is a hand-drawn measurement sketch (blueprint-style) on graph paper documenting chassis width measurements, apparently taken while planning or checking a suspension/drivetrain fitment. The drawing shows two brake discs and the frame rails in a plan view. The width measured across the front (at the brake discs) is 58 3/16 inches, while a second width taken 48 inches away (toward the rear) is 59 7/8 inches. Side measurements from each brake disc to the frame rail are recorded as 13 5/8 inches on the left and 13 11/16 inches on the right, with 'LEVEL' notations indicating the reference lines were leveled. The pinch weld locations are marked at 3 inches from the reference lines on both sides. A calculation note on the right states the structure is 1.6875 inches narrower in front than at the rear over the 48-inch span, which corresponds to an angle of 1.007 degrees. A reader can learn the exact measured taper of this chassis/track setup, useful for alignment, axle swap, or custom frame work. The document contains no vehicle identification, part numbers, or dates.
