The length dimension is taken from the outside surface of the rear "D" beam that the tailgate hinges on.
The actual opening size is 5" X 7" but you may want to adjust it larger for additional clearance to remove the sender. You will be cutting between two crossmembers so start small. NB. The tank is close to the floor (approximately .75").
