Frame width

Does anyone know the front frame width of a 1979 f250 4x4 compared to a 85 f150 4x4? I have a plow off the 85 I’d like to put on a 1979

The mount is probably going to be different because the 1979 F250 mount is with a leaf spring front axle and the 1985 F150 is a coil spring front axle.
This is the Meyers 1979 1/2-1979 mount for fun.
