Do you have a pic of the other sides of the frame perches? From the picture you have there, they look asymmetric. That could just be an artifact of the camera angle.
I think that 5 inches of spline showing is probably excessive. Here is what my truck looks like. I also have a turbo 400.


I found some more pics of the factory 68-71 perches and they may in fact be side specific. These are the best pics I could find.
