Default C2 Frame Dimensions

Can anyone suggest a good source for a drawing of the C2 frame that shows all of the dimensions? I am about to start a body off on my 65 coupe, and I want to build a good quality body dolly. I used the Noland Adams plans for a wood dolly on my 67 conv. and I would like to have a better one this time. I saw a couple of steel dollys that had all of the parts assembled so that you can adjust the locations of each support, and I would like to build something similar.

Thanks,

Doc

Page 2-4 figure 3 in your '67 Chassis Service Manual. Plan view and elevation with reference dimensions to all the body mounts.

Remember though that the pad dimensions are built into the equation on the real frame. If you are not going to mount the body with pads on those locations you need to build the dolly to take the pads into account. Its really easy though. You start with the central box. These are level, the two mounts just rear of the door on a convertible are 1/4 inch lower. The radiator support mounts are 7/8 inchs lower. The rear mounts are 7 inches higher.
