The wood was put together on the chassis with all of the body to frame bolts in place. I moved the body to another frame for final fitting of the sheet metal so I can work on it without the wheels in the way and i can do some finishing work on the chassis at the same time.

I’ve built one of those years ago.
I’d put the doors on and the rear “Skelton” and see where things go from there
Seems if the sills are correct the remainder should fall in line
Your original sills were “original” and not Messed with.

A wood worker friend and I made the sills. We copied the originals exactly and everything lined up perfect when assembling the wood structure. I also used a series of photos that Brent Terry had online of the assembly of a DD as my tutorial on how to put it all together. I had no issues assembling it. Everything went together as it should.....until I went to put the sheet metal on it. I can hang a door on it to see if the door post is in the right place but it appears the the issue is in the rear half of the skeleton, not the front half.....I think.
