Question Stock vehicle height?

I was flipping through the '69 sevice manual and couldn't find it. I searched the threads with no luck. Does anyone know just exactly what is stock vehicle height for '69 C-10 LWB? Where's it measure from?

Thanks.

I can measure mine when I get home from the top of the wheel arch to the ground. My tires are close to stock size, so it should give you an idea. My springs might have some sag though.

My truck is stock in my avatar.

Factory Truck Stance for a 1/2 ton shortbed is 32" in the front from the top of the ark to the ground and 34" in the rear

There is no standard. Different springs were available, as well as different options (engines, trannies, etc.) that make the front and rear weights (and therefore heights) of the trucks vary.

No there are no measuremenrts on theEarly Classic site. LMC has some figures that are the same as 70heavyhalf posted. I believe those heights are standard 1/2 ton numbers.

69 1/2 inches acording to GM. That is for a base model CS series truck. (That would be a 250/3 speed for engine/tranny combo.)



*edit* that is from the parking lot to the roof top.
