Question Need some help with overall dimensions

I am trying to get a transport lined up to bring my 78 F250 4x4 brought to me and the driver is asking about dimensions. I'm waiting on the owner to run a tape but in the mean time maybe there is someone that knows and can answer here.

What is overall length from bumper to bumper of a standard cab, long bed with stock type bumpers?

What is the height from ground to top of cab (assume factory suspension, no body lift)? The owner has added 35" tires.

Thank you!

Add about 4 inches for 35-inch tires... remember, taller tires results in half the new diameter... for example, it's not 7 inches taller when going from 28-inch tall tires to 35-inch tall tires.
