4x4 truck frame

hi guys, i just aquired a 4x4 frame to put my 1971 f100 body on it, i have no idea what year the frame is, i know its gotta be fromm 66-73 somewhere, its got a 360 2bbl(i think) it has a rear sump oil pan, i have never seen a rear sump on a FE engine have you? its for sure a 250 because 8 bolt wheels, it has drum brakes in the front and NO power steering. if anyone has a idea on how to check for the year of it, i would appreciate it, and does anyone know the wheel base of a 71 for long box? thanks guys

Look on top of the passenger side frame rail just ahead of where the front axle crosses under and post the VIN that is there. Should start F26*******

John,

Are all 73 - 79 F series stamped in that same location?

Thanks

Yes, AFAIK, of course Bill can come along and say something different.

FE engines (and all V8's in that era as far as I know) in 4wd trucks came with rear sump oil pans.
