This archived reference brings together general body information, door-opening dimensions and configuration-specific underbody drawings. Use its section headings to locate the appropriate reference before transferring a measurement into a conversion plan.
Identify the dimension document
The source is titled Body and Frame, headed 2023 Transit, in section 501-26, Body Repairs Vehicle Specific Information and Tolerance Checks. Its procedure revision is May 22, 2019. The document states that measurements are on center unless otherwise indicated. Read the notes and dimension markers in the actual drawing rather than estimating distances from a scaled screenshot.

Keep the measurement traceable
Record the vehicle configuration, PDF page, drawing heading and the points defining the dimension. Keep a value copied from the document distinguishable from a measurement taken on your vehicle. Where the drawing uses a datum, retain that reference in your notes so a later reader can understand what the value represents.
The original page title mentions factory holes. Keep the dimension record with the attachment drawings and component information for the project.
Connect dimensions with component identification
