Re: 1972 Cheyenne Super Short Fleet Big Block build!

Well, the holes are kinda all over the place. No real uniform spacing. From the door edge (with gasket removed from the passenger door over to the first hole is 1 1/2", then 2 3/4 to the next hole, 3 9/16 to the next, 3 1/2, 7 1/2, 7 7/8, and then 8 5/16 which puts us lined up directly over the center hole in the gas tank upper bolt holes. Next hole is 6 7/16 over, then 7 3/4, 7 5/8, 7 5/8, 4 1/4, and then 1 3/8 puts us at the driver's door edge.

THey are mostly all 1 1/8" from the lower edge of the cab but some are up to 1/2" higher. Wonder if this is just factory quality control or lack thereof....it appears there was glue all the way up to under the rear window gasket at some point. Maybe a later cover someone installed or would that have been that way at the factory?

Anyone have a picture of the factory cover installed with the grommets?

Here's my rough diagram
