all you have to do is measure it !! then make your new one just as thick or if you go to a durango box you have to make it a little thicker when i made mine i used 3/16" plate and 1" 1/4 wall dom for the spacers Name:  IMG00226-20110603-1449.jpg

Just throw the stock one on a piece of steel and mark the holes. I made one by welding a stack of the correct size washers onto a sheet of 1/4 steel.

Because the frame rail is flat and the steering box is curved, hence the spacer to even it out so it can mount.
