Stock Height Specs. 1968 StepSide ???

Merry Christmas All!

Hey guys, I am looking for measurements from a stock 1968 stepside truck.

What is the front and rear measurement from the wheel centerline to the bottom of fender?

Thanks in advance!

On my 71 it's 20" 3/4 on the front and 22" on the rear, I don't know if my springs have compressed trough the years. Hope that helps. Merry Christmas.

My '69 short step is LF 19 1/4, RF 19 3/8, LR 20 3/8, and RR 21 1/4. I'm going to lower it next week so I will re-measure these both before and after.

Once I make changes I will keep you posted. We are few in the Stepper World. LOL

Right Now I do not have drop spindles and the rear is 2 inches higher than front.


thanks again

Nice looking truck. It's definitly not sitting at stock height. Maybe lowered a couple inches with the springs. Couple more inches would look even better. IMO
