Bumper width help

I am hoping someone can help me, I am going on Sat. to pick a 68 mercury 100. I want to tow it with my tow bar. Could anyone give me the distance between the two lower bumper bolts. It is four hours away and buying from older lady so can't get meaurement. If someone could give a rough measurement, I will be able to make my tow bar will work.
Thanks BB1

32in apart on an 69f250 2wd center to center but their on the face of the frame horn and my 70 4x4 is 35in outside of the frame on each side where the bolts go in through the side and not the front which usually has brackets for the bumper. Pretty sure the f100 frames are the same dimensions up front as the 2wd F250 I'd imagine they are but someone else may come along and let ya know for sure.

Thanks

Thanks to all who posted so quick, my hitch should work great. They tell me it is drivealble but has been sitting for four years. It has 60,000 orginal miles. It only has six cylinder with 3 speed. But that is upgradable.
Thanks Again BB1
