needed! Gen. 3 steering dimensions

['round n' back again]

please help if u are able.
I assume the gen 3 has rack and pinion steering.
would a kind soul be kind enough to get me the following dimension?

the overall distance from tie rod end to tie rod end, outer to outer, with wheels in the strait forward position,

the purpose , if it's important, is to begin research on upgrading a gen 1 to rack and pinion.
many times the most difficult jib is sourcing a r&p unit that is close in dimension to hosting vehicle

thank u.

Sorry it took longer than expected. I also cannot say these are exact as I would need to remove a few things to get the measuring tape along the steering rack.

It looked like ~58" between the tie rod joint centers, and ~60" in overall length. I may be able to get more exact measurements later.
