71 GTX deck lid decal location

Thought I saw a post about the correct factory placement of the deck lid 71 GTX decal, but can't seem to find it. I know some has diagram or correct location. THANKS!!

I found this on Performance Car Graphics website where I purchased the decal from. Decal is located 1" inboard from passenger side of deck lid, and 1" up from bottom of deck lid. Can anyone verify this? I've done so many things twice on my car, I'd rather get this right the first time.

I know those are the correct measurements for the '71 Road Runner decal
but I can't swear 100% about the GTX decal. It does seem they would be the same.
Someone else might know for sure. Good luck

I've been looking at a lot of 71 GTX deck lid pics and most of them look like they are about 4ish inches over from left side and 2ish inches up from bottom edge. Even more confused :help:

Thanks I saw that earlier, but looking at GTX pics there are all over map. Hoping someone could verify decal location from a survivor car.

Please somebody with a survivor 71 GTX can you confirm deck lid decal placement. Decals going on my car next week, and if I slow down the painter I won't get the car back until fall. Thanks

From the pics I've seen the "T" is either centered over the Reverse light or on some cars centered over the far right red section of the tail light. It also appears the center of "GTX" lengthwise is alined with the trunk key hole.
