1974 bed dimensions

Can anyone give me exact bed dimensions for a 1974 Ford F150 long box? I'm looking for a rubber bed mat for my 1966 F100 but DeeZee only goes back to 1974. I'm wondering if a 74 differs much from a 66. Can anyone tell me? I need exact dimensions (distance ahead of/behind wheel wells, etc.). Thanks!

Thanks for the heads up. Good drawing. However, I can't seem to identify exactly how far back from the front of the box that the wheel wells sit. Maybe I missed it. Also, doesn't this generation of Ford trucks have the rounded wheel wells. I mean rounded where the wells meet the bed. If I remember correctly, they're not square shouldered like on my 66.

The 73-79 share the came bed and they do have the rounded edges. The length from the tail gate to wheel well is 2' 6", from the front of the wheel well to the front of the bed is 3', the bed is 5' 6" wide and the amount of space between the wheel wells is roughly 4' 3". Getting the dimensions is kinda hard because the wheel well is rounded.
