Finally have the M38 down to the frame and the PO drilled several holes on the frame rail sides and underside to accommodate a different motor and transmission positioning. I am in the process of filling those extra holes in and need a couple pictures of what holes should be in the frame rails between the front/rear spring hanger bracket and rear/forward spring hanger on both sides. I have reviewed the M38 reference but it does not cover all of the hole locations in the frame. Your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you


Update: I found Wes' photo gallery of the frame rails. It answered some questions but I need to see a picture of the frame around the pivot bracket for the pedals. There are nine holes drilled in the side and lower edge of the frame in this area. I think that may be excessive

I believe your count may be correct. Looks like Swiss cheese. Below is what I see:

This would be the view from the inside of the frame at the same section:
