1958 Big Window Cab measurements
I have just drug home another 1958 ford pickup. This one is a big back window. I swear, I have some sort of illness for the 58.
I need to replace the standard items (cab corners, steps, rocker panels, and floors). I have done it before and I am not worried about any of the metal working. But here is my problem, and my ask for this community.
Somehow, between the last time I did this work and this time, I have lost all the cab measurements to allow me to square up the cab as I do the work.
I had a book that showed all the door opening measurements, all the widths, and all the heights for every part of the cab. Does anyone have this information and would be willing to share?

If nobody has a better reference, I'll send you hard copies of the appropriate pages from the 1957 Ford Body Builders' Layout Book. It has incredible detail, but does not give diagonal measurements that might help in squaring up the cab. The pages have faint print and don't lend themselves to readable scanning. If you want hard copies please do me a private message with your mailing info and I'll drop them in the mail. Stu
