    I can get that measurement for you tomorrow but I think the frame rails are wider than the doghouse.

    Hemi the frame measures 32" inside just in front of the radiator. Another thing to consider is that all the linkage for the trans and throttle run down the inside of the frame on the drivers side and there is a brake line on the inside of the frame on the pass side. Hope this helps.
