So I think that the only point left open is the one concerining the body (or the bodies).

The Tamiya body is different in many ways to the real thing I do remember that and it is more 1/32 then 1/35 and as you said it is wilder then it should be. Unless you have a real one to measure off it is impossible to tell if any of the drawings are 100% correct to scale. The Chev chassis is different to the Ford Chassis in a lot of ways especially in the rear engine/gearbox mounting area. You also have to know before you start building whether you want to have a winch in the Chev because not all Chev chassis had the winch mount and the winch itself was made by Ford for all models of CMP. The second scan is of a C30/C60S chassis with winch. The only difference between them is the length with is the difference between a 134inch wheelbase and the 158inch wheelbase of the C60L. The extra 24inches is added in just behind the cab. I do have bigger scans of the two chassis drawings so if you PM me your email address I will email them to you.

As to metric measurements we have used them for many decades as I was schooled in imperial measurements in New Zealand but worked as a carpenters apprentice at 17 in metric so I am fortunately able to work in both forms of measurements and do have a habit of using both in some conversations LOL!
