Anyone have a CAD file or dimensioned drawing of the 3B exh flange. Someone was selling laser cut flanges on here, any chance they'd share the drawing? Don't worry, for personal use...

If you'd like, I have a 13BT exhaust manifold I can photocopy next to a ruler, and send you the scan...
Or frankly, I'm not going to be doing my turbo anytime soon, so I could mail you the manifold (or my turbo adapter, which is a lot smaller).

It's almost identical to a Chevy 3 bolt flange...
Or are you talking about manifold to head?

I'm talking about manifold-to-head.
A photocopy would work, thanks!

okay, so its a little harder. but still, start by clamping your old manifold to whatever your using to bolt to your engine. me, i used 1/2 plate. drill one hole, put a bolt through it. drill two, another bolt on opposite side. then drill the rest. takes about an hour.

I realize there are a hundred ways to magguyer something together, its not like I've never drilled a hole before. (Although you left out how to drill the big exhaust holes themselves - thats a bit harder than bolt holes)
But I'm asking for a CAD drawing or a picture with dimensions.
I started to do this to my 2H manifold, if they are the same (size opening and bolt location) i could finish what i started and send you a copy. Its a revit file though, but i can still cad it for you...

Buy an exhaust gasket and go from there.

Already en route
. OEM gaskets seem to be disco'd though, so I was concerned about the tolerances/fit of an aftermarket gasket.Also, as I type this I realize I have a full gasket set in my rebuild kit sitting in the closet and could have just pulled it from there.
I had this exact same problem months ago when replacing my rusted exhaust pipe. I cannot recall what I did. The last idiot mechanic that the last owner took this truck to did a bad butcher job on this exhaust. I had to buy new brackets that were missing.
I guess it is a chevy three bolt but you know, I went to the lordco in Richmond and none of there three bolt flanges would match up. Toyota wants a arm and a leg for there muffler for this truck. The original one is okay.

Bah, mud, you've failed me!! 
Fine, I did it myself. Attached are two versions, one is very square and simple (and wastes lots of material), the other is very curvy because... why not. Your waterjet/laser guy should be able to cut right from this file. Both are a single piece for all four exhaust ports.

Post it again because your link is not connected to anything.

Fixed. (Odd, my server ignores dxf files?! Had to zip it)

Man, I'm sorry. I've been so busy I haven't been able to get to my storage locker to pull out that manifold for you. Glad you got it sorted out, and let me know if you do end up needing it.

Just updating this thread for posterity.
The file above (<bad link> EDIT: http://www.drewmaurer.com/3b_manifold.zip) contains two versions like this:
The top one has large rounded corners to make welding a log-style manifold easier. The bottom one is an exact copy of the exhaust gasket, plus extra material between runners to save on waterjet time.
I also just uploaded a second version with some extra meat around the ports for tube style manifolds (<bad link> EDIT: http://www.drewmaurer.com/3b_manifold2.zip)
All three have the same hole pattern and fit fine:
