stock height

Can anyone get me the stock height front and rear of a 78 or 79 F150? I need from the bottom of the frame rail in the back next to the fuel tank to the ground and one from the rocker panel to the ground, and i need a measurement from the bottom of the front most frame rail to the ground and then the front bumper height to the ground. I had these measurements but i have no idea where they dissapeared to. Any help is greatly appreciated, Thank you ahead of time.

You bring up a good point, Ill check tire size tomorrow. I just need general measurements cause I want to know how close to the ground my truck will be.

A more meaningful measurement would be frame to top of axle wouldn't it? Or one could measure axle to bump stop and then also specify bump stop height.

Also, are we talking 2wd or 4wd?

Do you still need these numbers, I have a stock 78 stepside 300 CID 2WD, that I could get the number for you if you still need them.

GVWR differences will yield different measurements.
