In that case i would hang a plum bob( or a string with a washer) from the center of the wheel well and center the axle to it and use that as a starting point maybe it will line up to one of them there holes you have there.

that bart of the frame is where the trany crossmember bolts up

When I did my was I measured from the bolt on the front of the rear leafs. Maybe that will help.

I just put the new axle where i wanted it and went from their, never marked down where the stock was.
