Factory Ride Height

I recently purchased this '72 CS. The previous owner indicated he had heated the coils to lower the truck, but had no idea how much. Measurements from floor to top of fenderwell; front: 29 3/4, rear: 30 3/4. What are the factory measurements for a 1/2 ton, 2WD?

Subscribed. I'm curious to see this answer as I have the same dilemma.

My project has been lowered (with rplc springs) but I don't know how much.
