1955-59 Heater levers questions

Hi,
In 1984 I started to make the heater levers for the  1955-59 Chevy and GMC pickup trucks for a company called "47-54 Truck Parts" in Mena, AR.  The owners name was David Stewman.  I sold him them by the hundreds.  He would machine the cable clamps and install them.
My questions are: Does anyone have a 55-59 Chev or GMC dash laying around that take a picture and send it to me in, JPG form, that shows the levers installed, so I can tell which side to put the clamps on.  I haven't been under a 55-59 dash for so long that I don't remember what positions they were in.
David passed a few years ago, so I can't ask him.
I know other dealers are selling reproduction levers, but they don't look original and they cost more than I want to sell some for.  They also call the Chevy and the GMC the same and they are not.
I also want to put a better cable clamp on my levers.

I need to see the back side close up, as to where on each lever, the cable clamp goes.  Thank you for the help.

Could you send the last one to gcoleman@frontier.com  so I can enlarge it?  Thanks
