does anyone have measurements?

everywhere I look leads me here I have an 86 4 door f-350 long bed. I want to install a reese 20k hitch and have no installation manual. e-trailers had general info but I was hoping I could get better info here. I would like to know the rail locations without guessing just to be sure its right. has anyone installed one. maybe measure the rear rail. any help is appreciated.

that makes him cool. isn't that the idea of this site? people like him with knowledge and resources helping dumb dumbs like me who aren't the most internet savvy. being a mod on a site that people pay to advertise on I didn't think I would be insulted like I'm in some teenage chat room. I may not be a paid member but I'm a member none the less. I'll remember your comment when I see you recommending a product from an advertiser.

Oh trust me, Chris is one of the more fair and knowledgable individuals here... I tend to be more of a smart ***, you just caught me in a good mood on a Friday...lol. Welcome to the site, you'll find that most of us have our quirks. And alot of these supporter badges you see, were awarded for services and reputations. For instance I help alot with our annual meet at the Carlisle Truck Nationals, this will be my fifth year actually. You will also not see mods reccomending products, the site sponsors have ther own accounts and forums. The most we will reccomend is beer and certains brands of parts for our classics.

Then the world just got a bit better. I hadn't heard the previous, and I'm glad to see it was an Urban Legend.

I thought I saw the AB name on the label of the last bottle of Yuengling that I had. I'll have to look again the next time I buy beer. I do believe you though. And, I would prefer to buy good American brewed Beer/Lager. I think their light tastes just as good as their regular, but I prefer the dark myself.
