I'm definitely subscribed, because I'm adding uppers and lowers. This subject has come up many times over the years. Ideally, someone might provide the vertical and horizontal measures for the outer holes for one side of the truck (tops & bottoms) from definitive edges. For example:

The rear edge of the door to the center of the first hole is:
The bottom rear edge of the door to the center of the first hole is:
The front edge of the door to the center of the first hole is:
The bottom front edge of the door to the center of the first hole is:

Yeah, that's just one of 10 pieces, and images would go a long way. Takes some doing. Makes me want to tear off the moldings on my driver......

If ever someone could do this, then we'd all know the exact locations.

The "30" and "10" are dimensions off factory floor. Basically the assembly line was parallel to the floor and all dimensions were referenced off the floor.
