I would like some one that have a BB chevelle 70-72 with stock springs to measure how far it is from the ground to the top on the fender well. Thanks for your time. graemlins/beers.gif

26 inches on my 70 454 convertible (installed new Moog springs last summer). (Car is riding on 235/14 tires)

Is that front and rear?

That is front only. I can do the rears tonight for you. I assumed front when you mentioned "fender" and not "quarter".

That would be great. That is noproblem I was looking for both but I just did not finish my thought. Thanks graemlins/thumbsup.gif

correct specs for frame clearances are in shop manual. Any other measurement is subject to too many variables, particularly to the fender above the wheel.

Good point engineer. I don't have my assembly manual handy at the minute. I'll try to look it up and post my findings.

Just for the heck of it, I went ahead and measured the rear quarters and they came in at 25 1/2.
