The cab actually sits about 1-1/2 above the frame contour... That would be close to factory I would think.

If it were a 2wd it would sit maybe a 1" higher than its suppose to

Thanks. I was curious because I have an 84 K30 frame and running gear that I have that about putting an older body on or taking the running gear out of the K30 and putting it into an older truck. Not sure if one would be easier over the other. Thanks
