Hello all,
Simple question. The 1971-72 W30 stripe distance measurement from the wheel wells is 3/4 of an inch correct?

 

I'm not sure if you ever got an answer … or still need it, but that's incorrect. It's actually between 3/8 and 7/16. The assembly manual gives the measurement as .42 of an inch off the top edge of the wheel well lip.

 

found this on the www - not sure how accurate +- just a bit more info for you
