Just wondering...
Why would my brothers '68 be so much taller than my '66. Both are stock.
Different ride height between a '66 F100 & a '68 F100...

Over the years, the springs in either truck may have been replaced. Also, springs loose rate, and ride height lowers, during use. Factors like the condition of roads traveled, loads carried, and mileage all affect the rate at which a spring fatigues.

Could be optical illusion as well. The Slicks are smaller trucks.
