Frame swap

I have a 65 F100 (regular cab short bed) on a 78 bronco frame. I came across a SUPER clean frame from a later year for CHEAP. Wondering if there were any dimensional frame differences throughout the years of the full size bronco??? Thanks!!!

Are you building something like this?

78-79 frames are the same
80-96 are the same, but are wider, and very different than the earlier ones.

Not anything that crazy. I have plans to blast and coat the frame at some point and I currently have a body lift (that I want gone) to accommodate the c6/460. The front axle needs some attention as well. At the price of the frame I was looking at, there's no way of doing mine cheaper or with less effort. Looks like you answered my question though. Schucks

Where are you located? I need a clean frame for my 79, or even a rolling chassis.
