Didn't get around to measuring due to another project in my garage. (2000 Ford "EXPLODER" transmission swap) But I'll let you know. I guess I could just Google it.

Also, to add to Scoti's note on the rear ends. Sometime during the '70 model year the 6 lug rear switched to the wider 63" dimension...

Thanks for the tip. It's getting to the point of hacksaw and cutting torch!!! If I were to see how the clip works, I would have a better understanding. The Windshield needs to come out anyways, maybe that will give me another angle to get to it.
