frame measurement needed please

my truck was hit at some point, and I knew this when I got it. the frame horns have been replaced and they look like crap so I need to redo them. can anybody with access to the front of the frame get me some measurements? my truck is a 78 f150. I need to know the distance from the tip of the frame horns to the crossmember and how wide it should be between the rails. thanks in advance
