Does someone have the measurements for the side and deck lid road runner emblems and bird locations for a non deluxe model? Are they found in the 68 shop manuals or cd?

Well, the nameplates are located by the holes for them that are punched in the panels, so I'm guessing you're dealing with replacement sheet metal?
I've got a base 383 coupe in the shop I can measure later.
Or you can Google it if you're in a bind for time.

I have a bunch of photos with a measuring tape and some with lines and dimensions but they all need to be resized and sorry at this moment I could only get to the right trunk lid bird. If I get a chance later tonight I'll try and post what I have......but resized.

Oops, thought there was something wrong with my before restoration documentation............................and even after the resto I'm still off by a 1/4" on the emblem inboard from the trunk lid edge. blush I have more but they are probably off also frown

Measured mine, measurements are to the nameplates & birds once installed, but you should be able to work backwards to get locations for mounting holes.
Door emblems - 3 3/8" from ft door edge to edge of nameplate, also 3 3/8" from top of door contour to top of nameplate.
Door birds - 2 1/2" from top door contour to top of bird, bird is about centered vs nameplate, 1/4" from rear of nameplate to bird. Birds are running toward front of car.
Trunklid - RR nameplate 1/4" above middle contour of lid to bottom of nameplate, 2 1/4" from rt edge of lid to rt edge of nameplate.
Trunk bird is standing, not running, centered above RR nameplate with a 3/8" gap.
"Plymouth" nameplate is 1" above center contour to bottom of letters, 7 1/4" from rt edge of lid.
"Hemi" nameplate was on the left side but I don't have those measurements handy, sold that car a couple years ago but will post a photo.
Dash nameplate 5" from A-pillar trim to rt edge of nameplate, 1 1/4" from top of glovebox door to bottom of nameplate.
Dash bird is standing type, 3/8" gap to nameplate, centered heightwise off the nameplate.

These are measurements from my RR. I'll have to dig around for the door decal numbers.
