Nowhere I could find. However, I found the following about Johnny's
height:
"The Man Who Shook the Earth", Chapter 10:
Johnny was nearly six feet tall, and as thin as he could safely be.
Until today, he had habitually worn spectacles, in the left lens of
which was a magnifying glass. Johnny had lost the use of his left eye
in the War, and needing a magnifier in his business, had carried it
over the worthless optic.
"Mystery on Happy Bones", Chapter 5:
Not that he was a repellent man. He wasn't. He was big, not nearly as
large as Doc Savage nor as tall as the bony Johnny, but nevertheless
large. About six feet, and not fat. His age was uncertain, something
beyond forty, but not much more. His hair was very white at the
temples, like cotton tufts over his ears at first glance.

I found this:
"The Devil's Black Rock", Chapter 9:
"The half million," Doc Savage interrupted, "will go to a charity. We
often accept money that way."
