Pic request for VIN plate placement

I lookin for photos of VIN plates on the early trucks where it is on the drivers door pillar. Measurements in relation to a reference point would be good too. Can anyone help me out here?

Greg,

Here's one from the 76 3/4 ton that I pulled the 454 from. Hope it helps.

Thanks Kenny. Do you have one zoomed out a bit? I want to see where the plate is located on the door jamb. I assume the factory used a jig of some sort to locate and drill the holes. Exact measurements would be nice to know.

No... I just remembered taking that shot for information purposes when I read your question.

Sorry!

OK, here are two pics. The vertical measurement was taken from the raised portion the door striker sits on...if that makes sense. Basically, the VIN sits 1" below the lip on that raised section.
