I think there is an illustrated parts breakdown showing hole locations with dimensions in the factory assembly manual. I can scan ya a copy but you will hafta wait until Monday till I can get it to ya. Can somebody else send/post it faster?

You can run a line of tape across the whole back of the bezel,and then tape it to the truck,with the gate closed,and do the other side the same way,so you can tell if they are in the right location,and level with each other,ect.Then you can mark the location of the holes.
Might not be a bad idea to mount hte taillights and lenses too,to make sure everything will work together
