Merry Christmas All!

Hey guys, I am looking for measurements from a stock 1968 stepside truck.

What is the front and rear measurement from the wheel centerline to the bottom of fender?

Thanks in advance!

On my 71 it's 20" 3/4 on the front and 22" on the rear, I don't know if my springs have compressed trough the years. Hope that helps. Merry Christmas.

My '69 short step is LF 19 1/4, RF 19 3/8, LR 20 3/8, and RR 21 1/4. I'm going to lower it next week so I will re-measure these both before and after.

Once I make changes I will keep you posted. We are few in the Stepper World. LOL

Right Now I do not have drop spindles and the rear is 2 inches higher than front.


thanks again

Nice looking truck. It's definitly not sitting at stock height. Maybe lowered a couple inches with the springs. Couple more inches would look even better. IMO

Do you have drop spindles in front?

[chaztruett]

With the 15 inch 255 60 R15 tires: Center Line wheel hub to fender 16" FRT 16.5" Rear.
Cab Height approx. 64.5 ".



Comparing ya'lls info above; I am somewhere around a 4-4.5" Drop front and back. I have only 1/2" Difference front to back with these tires which are same front and back.

With the BOSS Wheels / tire combo, gives me almost another 1.5" Difference front to back, giving overall 2" difference.

Gentlemen, thank you all for the great info! I really appreciate your help!

thanks

Wow, those look nice. I run the Centerline wheels and tires around house and winter. I am planning to put some 20" on here within the next month. The ones pictured 338 BOSS 18" are from my C3 Vette along with adapters. I like yours being same all around. Hate the PO stagered these, they may be 8" and 7"??? But using same tire. Cannot rotate frt to bk.

Would anyone happen to know the front and rear measurements from the wheel centerline to the bottom of fender for a 71 chev c-10 longbox ? Is there a specific site for this kind of information by chance? Thanks in advance!!

Mine were staggered also. 295/50 R, 265/50 F. The 10" sticks out farther than I liked and with those front tires, the suspension was way to close to the pavement.
