Frame question.....oh boy! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hey guys!

I have a question/concern on my frame. It is a 64 swb and it looks like the passenger side is about 3/4" higher than driver behind the cab. The frame appears not to have any hits anywhere on it. Yes, the floor was level from where I measured. I thought it could be coils and shocks(factory) and I figured pitching and replacing with a 4" lowering would fix it. Not so. Even with no coils or shocks, the truck is still about 3/4" high.

When I drop the rear on the bump stops on the axle, it IS level. What is going on here? Any ideas? I'm getting ready to drop about 6K in the thing and want to make sure I'm good.

Thanks for the reply!
