Ride height measurement please

I have a 68 c10 swb and I'm doin a frame off restoration. But doin a bunch of custom stuff.
Anyone with a 4/6 drop, could you give my some measurements from the frame to the ground in the back and where the front cab mounts are?
It would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

Not a very good picture but I have a 4.5/5.5 on this truck. I will get some measurements for you when I get home.

From the top of the front cab mount to the ground is roughly 12 3/8. From the bottom of the rear section of the frame to the ground is roughly 15 1/2.
