Whoops....you're right, sorry about that.

I was reading the schematic in that link incorrectly...it's kinda hard to see where the arrow was pointing to. That measurement is for the amount of dip the frame takes between the front suspension and the rear spring's front mount.

alright i wasnt going to ask, but i am now. i looked at the schematics, and without measureing the truck myself, it looks like mid rail width to mid rail width is 31.84. does this make any sense at all? s10's are 36.75 i believe.... how are our frames narrower than a mini truck?

well i think i answered my own question. it looks as though the body mounts are OUTSIDE of the frame. are my measurements right?
