The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area General Truck Talk AD height measurement w/ stock suspension needed.

Can someone with an AD truck on stock height new/non-sagging suspension get me a measurement?

I need the distance from the center of the hub to the edge of the fender at the wheel opening directly above.

Please and thank you!

My '54 sits pretty near stock height. See photo in my signature. Don't know if '54 frame height was different to earlier AD trucks. My truck was built with RPO 282M 6.50X16 tires + Heavy Rear Spring. These measurements are with a half tank of gas and about 100# in bed.

My truck leans a little toward the driver's side. Center of hub to bottom edge of fender opening:
LF = 17-1/2"
LR = 18"
RF = 18"
RR = 18-1/2"

Here are the specs for your 1951 But I don't know if I'm smart enough to figure out the body height.

Excellent! ~18" sounds about right. Thanks Lonnie!!

...man, your truck looks nice!

The 54 frames are Lower by 2 Inches ...

1951 Chassis and Body Dimensions

1954 Chassis and Body Dimensions

According to the spec sheets for both, they are the same height even tho the frame might sit lower on the later models.

[edit] ...actually, it looks like only the bed deck is lower by two inches. They eliminated the spacer blocks in '54.
