I did some searching but came up with nothing.

Can some one tell me the ride height at the front and rear bumpers, or where ever you should measure, for a 1958 1/2 ton longbed?

Much appreciated bolters!

there should be a slight rake empty to allow for loading, depends on the original GVW springs - ballpark on mine: the bottom of the front bumper is 15" [front springs may be sagged a bit] .... rear might have various bumpers or none, so with the fleet bed, it's ~28" to the bottom of the tailgate, should be the same to the gate of a stepside .... or you could check the resto-pak wink
