Need help with m880 dimensions for scale r/c project

This may be a bit of an odd request but. I love these trucks. The 75-77 D/W series and the military variant the M880 are my favorite old 70's truck. I just think that the rounded sides to the fender and the whole truck gives off this muscular vibe to it. I have recently gotten hooked on the radio control rock crawler hobby, specifically what are called "scalers" which are 1/10th scale usually versions of 1:1 trucks setup for scale off roading.

Much to my dismay no one, and I mean no one seems to have ever made a model or body of this truck. This means if I want it bad enough I am going to have to attempt to build it from scratch, but I really don't want to do that without having proper dimensions off the real thing so I can do it right.

I have googled myself to death and can't find any dimension type schematics anywhere. I need basic things like overall length, wheelbase, track width, overall width, roof height. But also more detailed information like how large the roof actually is, how long the doors are etc so I can attempt to replicate it.

If any of you know where I might find this information I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you - Jason

Im having trouble finding the manuals section. Although I did see the modelers section maybe this should have been posted over there.

Edit: I was looking on the forums not under resources thanks.

Edit2: Can't seem to find the one on the M880 the transportability guidance one on the CUCV covers the chevy's and has a lot of what I need.

You can also find any local dodge pickup, std cab longbed, from 1972 up to 1993 for dimensions, photos etc, they are all the same.

Head over to a used car lot and break out the camera and tape measure.
