Exclamation dentside vs bumpside frame width

Is there any difference on frame width between the 68-72 f250 and the 73-79 f250? Im looking at getting a 68 f250 with a flat bed and it still has the in cab tank. Im looking to at least add the 38 gal tank to the back if theres not difference or minor difference, if i have to fabricate a bracket or mount to work I will if the needs arise.

Are you talking 2WD or 4WD? Either way the answer is yes.

The Bumpside cab is two or three inches shorter than the Dentside cab, if that makes any difference. Pretty sure the extra length is behind the seat.
