Stock the front would have only had two leafs and would be flat. The distance from center of the hub to top of wheel arch should be around 20". I have a 460 and add a leaf and it is 21.5".

There is also a block in the back stock. IIRC it's about 4". It's dark and raining or I'd get you some better measurements/picutres.
