I have a 1949 Chevy 3100, and i put a 1968 Firebird rear axle underneath it, but it looks like it sits higher? I was just wondering what the original height from floor to bottom of rear bumper was

You may be able to figure the correct height from the specs in the '49 Chev Truck restoration pack. This page is difficult to read:

GM Heritage Center has better copy of 1949 Restoration Kit. Scroll to pdf page 5 of 53. (The actual page number in the lower right corner is page 55) Same page as above, but easier to read.
