1957 F100 Bed

Hey guy's im new to the site and from Oz. I have a 1957 f100 styleside I'm about to restore and I'm after some info and advice. The truck doesn't have a bed and it's not on an original chassis. I want to keep the styleside bed look but i need to find out the dimensions of a SWB and LWB bed so i know what will fit this chassis i have. So measurements from the back of the bed to the centre of the wheel archers and overall length. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

TIA

G'day,
I only have the short bed, and the middle of the arch is a little subjective, but I measured 41" from the back of the bed to (about) the middle of the arch, and 80" overall.
