Finding out what lowered springs I have

I bought a just short of being called a basket case 65 swb. The previous owner is zero help with information about the truck. They put lowering springs on it front and rear but don't know what drop they used. I need to order shocks and make sure I get a good set up on it. Any ideas of how to either measure the springs or something to figure this out? Really don't want to have to buy new springs just for this. These are brand new but can't see a part number on them. Any help would be great.

What year of truck and what are the measurements of the middle fender openings from the ground? Engine size and tire size will help too.

It is a 65 swb, no fenders right now. in the process of putting it back together. trying to get the frame and suspension done before putting the bed and cab back on.

I found a part number finally. Googled it and had anywhere from 2" to 3.5" . Part number is 2 00 251130R. Does the 2 00 mean 2" or just part of something else?
