78 door pocket measuring help

Hey guys I tossed my old dried up door panels without measuring where the door pockets go. If someone can take a measurement for me I took some pics of what I'm looking for from the top edge of the bag to the edge where the arrow is pointing, and from the side of the bag edge to the edge of the door panel thanks in advance guys.

Re: 78 door pocket measuring help

Looks like a nice truck! I don't have any measurements for you. Are they factory door panels? If they are there is a good chance the back side has dimples where they mount

Thanks 1774btcrew been a long process I still gotta lift it and put my NOS 1 tons under her. Unfortually they are aftermarket door panels with no markings I just wanna make sure they are in the same location as the factory before I start drilling.
