Stock Suspension - Wheel Hub to Wheel Well measurement

[bsampson]

I'm trying to figure out how much of a drop the previous owner added to the truck I bought.

I found a thread somewhere that mentioned 19.5" from the center of the hub to the edge and center wheel well. I'm not sure if that was front or back though, which I assume will be about 2" difference.

Can somebody confirm this measurement, and whether that is the front or rear measurement?

Mine measures about 16.5" all around, which I think was done with cut front springs and moving the rear axle above the leaf springs and small blocks. I'm converting the rear to coil springs, and I'm trying to determine what springs to get.

Thanks!

edit: I should probably add that I have a '72.
