2wd I beam swap questions

Has anyone ever swapped late model I beams into like my 76? I am picking up a 94' f150 and would like to swap in the complete units. I have searched but not found any answers. I have not gone and gotten the donor yet so I can't measure to see any differences. Any help would be much appreciated.

Frames were widened in 1980 about 4" for the need to fit wider motors such as modulars and diesels.

Good luck!
