How to accurately find height of truck for garages

Hmmm...I'm 6'4" with shoes on and I have to stand on the running boards to wash the roof of the truck so I'm pretty sure mine is well taller than six and a half feet. I've actually been meaning to measure mine which is why I took interest in this thread. My antenna scrapes on certain parts of the parking garage where I work.

the parking garage probably doesn't have that good an accuracy. so onc eyou know your number... make sure there some wiggle room!
I like using the antenna as a warning device, if it hits, stop and re-think

IF the truck is at an angle when entering (like many drop down garages), that will use some of the clearance. Depending on the angle, even 6" may not be enough.

The best I can remember from my measurements by laying a 2x4 across the highest point on the cab and measureing to the floor was just over 77". I've got no lift or level but do have 275x60x20 tires.
