51. f1 ride height
 
I tried to use the search but my phone is not cooperating. My rear springs are 60 yrs old and I amblooking to drop the rear a few inches. If someone knows the stock ride height I can figure how much lower mine is now. I am looking at reverse eye monoleaf springs that drop stock height 5". If my truck is an inch lower then stock now I know iit will drop 4" more. Thanks jeff

Thank you. Thats What I needed. Anyone know the diameter of stock wheels?

16" x 4.5" wide. But this info is in the chart. Did you perhaps really want tire outside diameter? If so, a 6.00 x 16" will be about 28" tall, and a 6.50 x 16" about 30" tall. Stu

I am trying to find total outside diameter to compare it with the size tire I have on now . My heights on the truck don't match, I think because my tires are larger. I don't know how much tension rear springs have lost in the last 60 yrs.I am looking at getting some rear springs yhat have a 3" drop but if my springs have lost an inch or more the 3" may not b enough.

Right, as I guessed. I edited to add that above. Stu
