What kind of kit are you building? A lot of these measurements are a little hard to give from the references points you give. The two tubes start at the top 1 1/2" tube about 1" apart and attach to the 4" frame tubes so that they are aligned with the back edge of the fiberglass footboxes in the originals. If you're not using an original style frame it will be difficult to give measurements from your reference points.
If you're building an FFR, the 4" chassis rails are wider apart than the originals, so you may have to do some creative attachment. Also, the FFR tranny tunnel is wider than the originals, so it may look a little funny trying to replicate the original look.
May have to make some creative decisions and just place them where they "look right". Or, if someone in your area has a Kirkham you could look at, you may be able to extrapolate how yours will need to be done based on how theirs is done.
