        When you "lower" a rubber bumper car, you have to change the front
        crossmember as well.  There's a little extra material between the
        top of the crossmember and the frame rail.  That's how they raised
        the ride height in the front.  Maybe this is why your '77 doesn't
        sit quite as low as the '69?
