Can someone here do me a favor? I need a measurement

Anyone that has done a 7" or close drop in the rear, can you please measure from the top of the frame to the top of the axle housing? Mine is a 68 so anything close to that.

Thanks

Re: Can someone here do me a favor? I need a measurement

I can get a measurement from my 72' when I get home, it has the ECE rear bag kit, so Im not sure the actual amount of drop at the pressure I usually run... but I will get you a ride height and the measurement you requested if it will help...

It would be about 1" or less between the axle & bottom of the frame (no c-notch) so add the height of the frame to that.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
