Pls help, need height difference on body mounts

Hello all, I know it maybe a stretch but I was wondering if anyone has the exact height difference between the front cab body mount and the rear cab mount for a '76 super cab. I have removed the cab from a F150, and am going to put it on a' 76 rc lb, Hi boy 4x4 frame. I have already extended the frame 5.8" and moved the rear mounts back but I need to use a level and cut body lift blocks for the front 4 mounting points with the cab sitting normally on the rear mounts. Thanks for any help.

They're the big Spicer hubs used on the D44HD and LP60 axles, good luck on finding parts for it, parts are pretty scarce and when you find them they're expensive.

In case someone is doing a search at some point. It appears to be 1-3/4" difference as best as I can tell using a 6' level.

Good info - thanks. This is something I will most likely use later on so I'm glad someone was able to figure it out.
