    Damn chevy I just seen you'r last post I can get that but it will be a day or two sorry.I did get you some measurement's though I think I got what you want.
    1)frame drop is 5.5 in.
    2)bottom of frame horn to top at center of rad.3.750 in.
    3)bottom of frame to center hole 1.5 in.
    4) not sure what you mean this car only has a bracket that comes off the frame horn's to the bumper,the other brace is like a 56 it bolt's to the finder.
    You said you found the ride height it sounded a little high but our's set's at 8 in.

    Thanks Smooth.

    I only have a couple of questions.

    On measurement 1, are you sure about that? If the frame was 5.5" below the rocker, you could see the entire frame from the side of the car. The entire frame is only 4.5" tall. The measurement I was looking for is how far the bottom of the frame hangs BELOW the bottom of the rockers. In other words, if you were to put a straightedge across the bottom of the frame, how far UP from that straightedge would the bottom of the rockers be?

    So are you saying there is NO diagonal bumper brace like on a 56 Chevy? I'm talking about the brace that goes from the bumper corner back to the frame diagonally.

    Thanks a bunch.
