Is there any chance anyone can help me with either a cad drawing of the swimstep for the 3780, or a dxf file? Someone, somewhere...?

Are you building a new one, or rebuilding an existing one?
They are easy to re-build; if building a new one a suggestion, build it slightly wider, the factory one needs it, especially at the transom door.

I am building a new one, but will be changing the dimensions slightly and lifting it up-even with the transom door.

Stay below the transom door about 2", you do not want the backwash pushed under the door.
Use your old swim step as a pattern for the transom curve.
I used SS rail fittings for new brackets, do not remember the angle, and SS heavy wall tubing, place a SS washer in the fitting for the tube the seat against, or cut to fit use the set screws and then have it welded, do not forget to re-enforce the platform where the brackets bolt on. I used plywood and fiberglass on my re-built platform, a weight savings if you use heavy density ridged foam, 2 layers with fiberglass in-between. Use iso type resin and gelcoat.
