Exclamation Need quick help on vehicle height

I'm trying to have a 79 150 4x4 with 4" body lift shipped to me. They can't do it if the truck exceeds 7', should I be ok? I can't get a hold of the guy I'm buying it from and need to know pretty quick. Thanks

Has it been lifted? My stock 78 F250 is 6'6" to the rooftop and 6'10" to camper rooftop. I had it shipped, they just put it on top of the carrier.
the book says stock 150 is 6'2'

Hmm... Looks like I may have a problem. Does a 2x 250 sit as high as a 150 4x? If the 4x is any higher then the 4" body lift may put me over.

Can someone with a 78-79 150 4x measure their height? I think this truck only has 31's on it.
