can I get someone to crawl under their truck and give me a measurement from the radiator core support to the frame rail or the body bushing mount PLEASE!

I need to align the front end of the broncasaurus!
but I cannot do this without bushings,
only ones I have are off the bronco,

again please and thank you.

I'm not sure if I understood your question, but I got a 8.5 inch measurement from the radiator core edges to the center of the body-bushing bolts in the transverse plane on my '95 F150 with 5.0 liter/auto. :dunno

46.0 inches

That is from the center of the front bushing (which is the center of the rad support) to the center of the first mount at the front of the door.

Can you put the fenders on and shim it up till the body lines are right? That'd be a good time to square up the whole front

I'll measure mine tonight, but it's my understanding that they can vary a bit

Mine had shims in it. I think it's supposed to be adjustable to make the door gap line up id say.

after looking at it, the doors are fairly aligned with the cab.
junkyard wants 75 a fender, but no time to pull it.
but they do have a spiffy 78 e-250 gasser "beach comber" with 2 sunroofs i may take the time to cut off!;Sweet
