Default 68 BB front bumper height

Hello, I need help with reassembling my car. I need to know the front bumper height, ground to the top center tip of the chrome bumper. I have stock BB springs, 215/70-15 tires, which i believe are close to the factory sized F70-15 tires. I appreciate the help and information, thanks, Al

Default 68 BB front bumper height

Hello, thanks for your time and efforts in replying. Pg 20 reads: H102 Front Bumper to Ground 9.2.
Would you know what other dimension needs to be added to the 9.2"?
The actual top center tip of the chrome bumper to ground should be somewhere around 22 or so inches to the ground, I think.
I'm looking for what a stock car would be approximately, I know tire air pressure, etc would change the measurement.
Thanks,
Al

Default 68 BB front bumper height

Hello, OK, thanks. I could use the wheel opening dimensions which this shows. I'd like to know the top center tip of the chrome bumper height for a cross check.
My 68 AIMs has the same page but not as detailed, no wheel opening height dimensions, looks like the front and rear are the same dimension, curb ave 27.91".
I'm replacing the inner fender skirts and wanted to get the height correct before I bond to the hood surround. Fenders are still bonded to the cowl but all front metal extensions , brackets are all removed.
I appreciate everyone help, Thanks
