CAD Files for the big trucks

I have a 1970 F500 that I'm looking at restoring and customizing over the next few years and I was wondering if anybody had basic CAD files with dimensions for the cab and chassis on these old big trucks.

Thanks,

If nobody has your CAD file you'll find the data in the below 1970 copy of the Ford Body Builders' Layout Book. These books provide insanely detailed schematic engineering drawings with measurements for all truck models. Stu
