crewcab frame measurement
I just bought a 79 f250 crewcab 4x4 and the frame has been broke in two places and cut and spliced in two more. I'm buying another f250 4x4 from a salvage yard (regular cab). I plan on just using the rear of the regular cab frame to fix the crewcab frame. Can someone with a crewcab 4x4 give me the measurement from center of front hub to center of rear hub? I would appreciate it. Thanks.

You probably already know this, but you have to watch your years here too..my understanding is that the frame is different in 78/79 from the earlier models (the "highboys").
I have a 76 CC. If you need me to I can measure it up, but it might be a slightly different length from the 78/79.

I don't think my frame is actually a crewcab frame. The VIN tag on the door says the cab was a 2wd but the frame is definitely a 4wd. And it appears the last two body mounts for the rear of the frame were added later. They're just welded on. Plus it appears the frame has been cut and stretched. I'll start with the first measurement of 150.3" and if someone else has another measurement i would like to know it also. Thanks.
