What do you mean "for size" and "how tall"? Length? Rail height? What are you looking to do?

Same year you should find very little noticeable differences. You should be able to work with it. You are not firing a rocket into outer space.

Hi -
I assume you are doing a similar modification like I did on my 64. I have 77.5 F250 axles in my 64 F250 4X4. Sometimes you are much better off buying a complete truck, thats what I ended up dong. If you can find a 77, 78, 79 F250 4x4 with blown motor, or totaled out body, you will get everything you need in one shot to make the swaps.... Good luck and enjoy. Like your 61 by the way....
