I found a few pictures but hate to guess on the placement.

Did they fill them with body mud? Or did they weld the holes up?

Well...that is the good news, at least. Check out the thread "calling all two tones" or posts from "Lineman", who is researching similar issues, and might have measurements (I would "eyeball it based on photos, but I'm "some kind of special").

I can go out to my shop and measure the hole placements on my cab. I took the emblems off a while back so the holes are already exposed. Give me a day or two.

Thank you

The pictures should be good for you. I noticed the right hole is a bit lower than the left.

If you have any questions or need additional photos let me know.

I kept the angle of the camera as directly in front of the measuring tape as possible.

Just wanted to add that the last picture where the left hole is dead center at one inch is to illustrate the distance between both holes. The second to last picture is the distance of the left hole from the door jamb.
