Our office, an architecture firm, uses a program called Vectorworks, it's very similar to AutoCAD. I found 3D models of our truck for free online and then used the 1961 shop drawings to rebuild the frame to match my '61. Check out the next post to see how things matched up to reality once i started cutting up the pieces. I will say that having modeled the path way was very helpful once i was working on my back under the truck
