Frame measurements

Does anyone happen to have frame measurements for a 96 Ford heavy duty 2wd short bed super cab? I can't find this info anywhere. The closest I got was a long bed regular cab which is not the same. I would really like to have the Ford one from the body assembly manual as opposed to the Chief one. I have the truck up on the frame rack tore down and chained down. Any help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED as time is now at a premium hogging up the rack. As many of these things are on the road I find it hard to believe that this info is not anywhere out there. If it is, it will be here I'm sure of that!!! Thanks guys

Typically, the technician that does the frame "adjustments" has access to all of that information, usually from the manufacturer of the equipment. That information is usually based on what specifications the factory supplies the equipment mfg.

I would think the Ford factory service manuals might have the measurements in it for use at the stealership.

Thank you so much that is exactly what I was after. Our shop has access to the Chief measuring sheets, but the factory Ford ones are much better. As far as measuring points the f250 should be the same as the f150 right? Thsnks again

I know the F150 uses a crush zone area for the front of the frame, but the dimensions beyond that should be the same to the best of my knowledge.

Dimensions across the series might be close, but the frames are entirely different. The 150 frames look like weaklings compared to the 350 for example.
