Default Wheel base lengths?

Does anyone know what the difference in wheel bases are for:


79 F250 4x4 supercab

76 F250 single cab 2wd

I have an opportunity to buy the supercab frame very cheap...I want to put the body to my 76 on it. I'm just not sure how much I will have to shorten it. Any help is greatly appreciated.

A quick Google search turned up this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_F-Series

Just about anything you would want to know from 1948-present is listed.

Thanks klricks, I found a lot of helpful info, but didn't find any wheelbase lengths.

I have a Haynes manual that lists alot of wheel bases....but it does not specify what belongs to single cab, super cab, crew cab etc...there is about 7-8 different lenghts, so its hard to tell which is which with only 3 different cab sizes, unles 4x4 makes any difference?

Yea I now see the Wikipedia site doesn't start listing wheelbase until '87 models.

Here is another list.

Also the WB is printed on the door jamb sticker.
