Frame widths

I just scored a awesome, rust free, dent free, pickup box trailer from a 74 f-250 2wd for 350 dollars. Will the frame widths be the same from it to my 77 hiboy?? This was so clean I couldn't pass it up. Thanks alot, Aaron

From what I understand, the only difference in frames is 2 wd vs 4 wd and the 4wd has the more narrow frame

The '73-'77 1/2 250 4x4 "high boy's" and all 350's have a 34" (approximately) width. All others have the 38" (approximately) width. Measure the distance between the heads of the rear bed bolts and compare. If the bed is from a 2wd they should be about 4 inches farther apart compared to your truck.
