That truck looks fairly stock hight. My 64 is stock and I went from 23 inch diameter tires to 27 inch diameter tires and you can see the difference in the stance of the truck. Have you looked to see if there is blocks in the back and different spindles in the front? I used 3 inch lowering springs for the front of my 69 and 2 inch blocks for the back and if I had it to do over I would have used a drop spindle in the front. I guess I will do that on my next project.
