1991/2011 Explorer: 102.1" wheelbase / 2012/13 Explorer: No frame as it's a unit body, based off the FWD Taurus X/Freestyle. Both discontinued, neither sold worth a hoot.

1965/66 F100 2WD; 1966 F100 4WD: 115 or 129" wheelbase.

Agreed. ...You can't get there from here. If you're going to go through the trouble of doing THAT much fabrication, get a vehicle that's worth using. Such as a 3/4 4x4 for example.
