I think you might want the following:
Camaro or Nova sitting with jackstands under the housing and the rocker panel level with the floor.
Then you'll want all three measurements, including the axle center line to the floor, for comparison purposes.
The Camaro, Nova, and Chevy II , all had the axle at the same height as the top of the rocker panel (the bottom of the door). The spring eye bolt is very close to the flange at the bottom of the rocker panel
Lots of those cars are higher now though, for tire clearance, etc.
Yes, I've air chiselled out quite a few of them ;-)
