I had the big ones too! I welded up all the holes and started all over.
I bought the small round one from Wes and drilled out three holes and bolted it up.
It is a tight fit inside the door but the right lenght of wrench was the ticket. If I had a youngster around they could get the nut on easy.
I can't remember if there was a plate or 3 nuts and a plate?
You can eyeball the spot below the vent window from pic s of other trucks
but even beter find a template from a board member or another truck.
I'm sure Wes has template if you bought from him.
