Yes, But! I do not drill any hole before fitting the entire tub, fenders and hood. Then mark them from the bottom through the frame brackets. Why? Because after all these years of twisting and warping, combined with a new or different tub, if you drill the holes without having it mounted on your frame, correctly, chances are that something won't line up right. So, I suggest you not use any other dimensions to drill your holes, rather fit your sheet metal and then drill the holes.
That is how I do it.
