Check out the "M38 Body" sub-album on page 1 of Wes' photo album. All the info you need is in there.

Having gone through this myself, be sure the tailgate has the additional bracing required for BOTH the gas can ans spare tire. Measurements can be approximated from the detail photos in wesk's photo gallery, M38 Body.
Best of luck
