New guy looking for Bronco body dimensions

I joined to find some body dimensions, I'm more of a scale radio control guy. I have a Radio Shack Mangler body, which if your not familier, it's essentialy a Bronco. Any way, the dimensions of the body aren't scaled down very well and I want to bring the body into better scale proportions. Beyond the basic width and length of the body, door opening dimensions, door to rear, wheel opening and distances to ends of body would be very helpful. Also, I'd like to replicate a 72, if there was anything particular to that year, please let me know.
The running gear will be Tamiya Blazing Blazer/Hilux and in the RC world, the most realistic running gear ever produced, and it was back in the late 70's early 80's.
Unless there are any nay sayers, I will do a build thread here and get some pics up.
Thanks guys, and I look forward to any help I'll get here.

Sweet, that will help me get started.
Yeah, after posting I searched "mangler" and got a few hits. I'll be lengthening mine, perhaps widening too and making a full interior.
