Frame widths

[Bunkerhillbilly]

Hey guys. I was wondering how much wider is the 73-79 frames than the 57 to 72 frames. What is the actual width of each. I could crawl under mine and measure em but it's a little chilly here in Illinois this time of year!!

Thanx that helps alot. Does anyone know if the 57 to 64 frame is the same frame Ford used for the 65 to 72??

No they are different.
What are you wanting to do ?

Something no one will understand. I got under my 64 and my 77 with a tape measure. They are the same width. I'm gonna rip out that bogus twin I Beam **** and put in a 57 straight axle. Once I get that big goofy cross member and all the rest out of it I should easily take 200 pounds off the front. I'll set up the steering with a cross steer set up and keep my power box. So basically I'm building a 77 step side gasser

Gunna get a 4" lowering kit for the back and shackle up the front for a nose bleed attitude
