Type 8 mirror positioning?

Wondering if anyone has measurements for the type 8 style mirrors. The person that had my truck before, did not put them in the right spots. Im about to start body and paint and would like to know where the holes are supposed to be. Right now they are angled. Here is a picture of my truck with the mirrors I have.

If someone doesn't beat me to it I can get that for you off my F350.

I would seriously consider changing to the type 9 mirror. not only for looks but to avoid the all too common folded in door this design was famous for.

The forward most of the 3 mounting bolts on top is 10 1/2" from the front of the door. and 8" from the top of the door.

I would ditch them. they're huge, ugly and great door destroyers.
