help with drop height
this is how I got my truck from the previous owner, its a 1964 GMC with chevy front clip...I have no idea how much its lowered
id like to get an Idea on how much its lowered so I can have a baseline for when I rework the height next to front bumper is 12 inches, behind front tire is 10 inches, and back of the bed by the rear bumper is 14.5 inches I have no clue what was done to the suspension, its leaf spring rear spring over axle, shackles look factory front is a mystery, I suspect cut coils, not sure if these are drop spindles or stock?

Re: help with drop height
I would say the front is stock with cut springs. On the back I would have to look at the GMC frame I have to see the differences in the rear. It may have had a spring swap. Pictures of the hangers may help ID mods.

Re: help with drop height
It looks like some work has been done on the spring stack. I can count the leaves on the one I have and also take a couple of pictures. It won't be till tomorrow. I won't be home before dark today.
