1979 F250 wheelbase?

I have a single cab 79 F250 ranger 4x4, and can't find any info on my wheelbase? Anyone know it off the top of their head, or where online I can find it?

Also, exactly what 5speed transmission can swap onto my 400? I don't know what era of 5 speeds match up.

thanks

133"
A ZF5 will swap with some mods.

you should check the inside of the dorr because they made an extended wheelbase option in 79, i thought mine was 133 but its really 166!

Only one wheelbase it can be provided it is a regular cab 4x4 as stated. There were no shortbeds made in a 3/4 ton 4wd option.

If you have a 166 you must have a 2wd crewcab. Does your jamb sticker say 166? My book shows it at 167.

146? Better look again. There is no 73-79 F-series that has a 146" wheelbase. How about 140"? What kind of truck do you have and I'll tell you what the WB options were.
