| I have a '63 DC I'm working on that is missing the bedside rubber bumpers (no holes either). Does anybody have measurements on where to place them along the bedsides and tailgate? Thanks. |

I'd typically refer you to the dropgates.com diagrams, but that site is no longer available. Does anyone have the details from that site now here on TheSamba. It was really helpful in both dimensions for placement and size of rubber stops.
EDIT: Here's a good start: https://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=398677

If '63 is exactly the same as my '61 and I think it is, it looks like I posted all the details in that thread above.
