[T3] Nose too high.

[Keith Park]

OK, measured up HOthe again,
Center flange of axle beam, 8 5/8"

with NO air in the air shocks 8" at the front of the rear torsion bar
housing plate.
pan flange below rockers is 9 1/2 rear and 9 1/4 front under these
conditions

with 60lbs in the shocks, with new stock size tires and fitting my hand
evenly against the fender lip and top of tire the torsion housing plate goes
up to 8 1/2"  that puts the rear rocker pan flange to 9 3/4"

Checking the blueprint I have for the rear torsion bar housing plate, I get
a measurement of 7.7" to go along with the 8.3" measurement to the flange at
the center of the front beam.
Here is a link to the updated image.

Looks like Elwood has sagged just a little with age, Dave. <G>
