1980 ford frame

I am looking for frame sizes. I would like to put my 53F100 on a newer chassis but not sure what year would fit without too many modifications.

I know few who dropped the 50 some odd year model trucks onto the 80+ bronco frames. They said they where almost a bolt up swap with little mods needed. So I'd give that a measure. hope this helps
