looking for stock willys frame / body specs

i had been over on the chevy forum for awhile and built a truck over there (frankenstien ) , wheeled it a little but just didnt like it at all and lost interest in it . so im partin it out and want to build up a mild willys flat fender . i had a 1953 willys wagon with an fhead 134,t90,d18 as my first car , sold it like an idiot to buy a 1990 wrangler yj that i dont even have anymore! that willys was the most fun ive ever had 4wheeling hands down and is why i want to get another willys but a cj3 this time, what im looking at doing is homemade frame out of 2x4x3/16 becouse thats what ive found most comonly used from what ive been re searching here. im looking to pick up a set of d44's from a wagoneer , stock jeep yj springs , spring over , for running gear either fhead 134 , t90 , dana18 or 22r with toyota trans/tcase , whatever i can find cheaper basically. id like to find an original cj3A tub to use but ive been finding out this stuff is not cheap especially on a college budget, and ive also noticed that the tubs do not look too complicated at all to handmake my own , would just need a windsheild frame & grill and a tub in good enough shape to copy
so im looking for the measurements of a stock size cj3 frame so i can figure how much metal i need and get started on this , i read some things that a stock size frame is 30" outside to outside of rails, is that correct? but havnt really found much info on stock frames besides that

heres the measurments i want:
- length front to back
- width from outside of rail to outside of rail
- where does the frame need to dip in the middle? how far from the front of the frame rails to the where the front of the frame bends down , how far from the back of the frame rails to the where the back of the frame bends down?

heres a pic of the 53 wagon i had i wish i never sold
