In the factory manual there are some guides for measuring which include all the datum points. You can find the manual online http://www.dollysprint.com/Docs/SPRINT.PDF

Not sure how useful it will be but it is a start.

I think they were a bit wary about putting the body sizes in the manual. What would have happened when someone actually started measuring their car. I think all would be classified as former accident vehicles.
