Trying to figure out the current drop my truck has.
I bought a 1967 C10 a couple months ago.
It has been lowered, but incorrectly. I am thinking of a 2/4 or a 4/6 inch drop. I am trying to figure out what I have now to try and decide which route to take. Can anyone please tell me how I would tell? Is there a measurement from the bottom of the fenders, or the rocker panel, from the top of the rear end to the frame? I figure there has to be away to tell. I sure would appreciate any suggestions. Thank you. |

Just find another truck that's not lowered, even one sitting in a parking lot somewhere and compare. Probably easyist to measure to the rockers and bottom of the boxside.
