Technical 32 front crossmember quetion

My 32 crossmember measures 3" and the u bolts and bracket I got measures 2 and 3/8 dose anyone know why or if any one could measure your crossmember and report back so I can see if I'm crazy or if I have the wrong bracket and bolts there is no listing for measurement for this

My problem is I can't seem to find u bolt measurments anywhere on the Internet the story go's I have an old rusty 32 frame that was customized prob in the 60s? It looks to me to be a 32 crossmember and looks to be original. So I ordered a spring bolt kit for 32 ford and it don't fit so I call socal and they say it is the correct one so it is either package wrong or the Fram I have has a different crossmember I will send pics

A stock 32 crossmember measures 2 3/8 across the center bolt hole. Here is a photo of mine. I raised it 1 1/2" but the distance stayed the same.

 

Ok mabe someone put a truck crossmember in my frame or well I don't know who knows but thank you pewsplace that answer my question. So I guess from here I need to find out what crossmember I have so I can reorder u bolts and new bracket I think model t would be smaller so mabe it is 32 pickup or camercial or mabe 35 to 48 I have a 48 front end on my model a mabe the ubolts on that are 3 inch mabe it a 35 or 40 ford crossmember ohh well more Internet searching. Thanks again pewsplace

welderseries.com.They have a u bolt eliminator kit.. used it on my model A

 

Maybe somebody plated it over to repair cracks. Any spring shop should be able to make it.

 

My stock `32 front crossmember is 2 1/4" wide where the spring "U" bolts fit over it.

 

What's it measure inside ?
You don't want the spring fitting in there like a hotdog in the hallway

 

Thanks guys for the info I ended up just making my own spring bolt kit and it turn out really nice
