Welcome to the board!

This is not an exact science.
There is no way to know what drop via "age sag" your original 40+ year old springs are at,... compared to brand new stock springs,... or drop springs.

I suggest you look at a few trucks on the board, and try to decide.
It will be a guess at best.

I always order 6" drop springs from Early Classic Enterprises when I drop these trucks.
