Tires can change that dramatically. The best way to figure out "stock" ride height is to measure from the center of the hub to the bottom of the fender straight above the hub.

I was going to give you that off my 69 short step that but I think I delted it... Doh!

EDIT: Found it. Left front, 19 1/4" Right front 19 3/8" Left rear 20 3/8 Right rear 21 1/4

Thanks for your replies. The reason I asked for the measurements from the floor to bottom of frame was because years ago I did a frame swap and put a 1956 F100 panel body on a 1972 C10 frame. I had issues with track width and purchased narrowed control arms from Porter built and that screwed up the geometry for the steering and I couldn't keep tires on it. SO I bought a bolt in cross member from Scott's Hot Rods and customs and explained to them what I had done. The C10 suspension was stock height except for the CPP 2 inch drop spindles. I told Scott's I wanted it lifted the 2 inches by going back to stock height spindles and a 60 track width. My previous ride height under the front roll pan was 6 inches from the ground but this new cross member ended up lowering it by 1 1/2 ". That's 3 1/2" lower than I had asked. Justin ,owner of Scott's is trying to tell me the cross member is at stock height...I don't think so..
