Does anyone have or know where I could find drawings for SO-42 style camper pieces? I just got a gutted 65 Walk thru that I want to put a more "period correct" camper interior into it. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Not sure it's SO-42 but lots of measurements posted.

Instead of starting a new thread I thought I would tag it on to this one. I was digging around the engine bay in my 1965 SO42 and came across these dome head screws on the immediate inside of the drivers side of the engine bay. Any idea what they are for? Given they are oddball dome head screws I thought they might be original but have not idea what purpose they served? Anyone else have these or know what they were for?

Looks to be about the right spacing for a dome light, remnants of a PO upgrade?

No idea it's purpose but it is a PITA place to start drilling holes that's for sure. Anyone else have any ideas?

Why would that be?
(it does not look so hard to drill holes on that location, or am I missing something?)
