78 - 79 frame differences??
[updated:LAST EDITED ON 15-Dec-01 AT 01:09 PM (EST)]Ok guys, I know that this has been talked about before, but I still have more questions on '78 and '79 frames.
1. What are the differences in weight, strength, etc on the F250 - F350 frames?
2. Other than the front crossmember and the steering box mounting location, what are the differences between 2x4 and 4x4 frames? Is there a difference in the width? Does the 4x4 have a different "arch"? Would a frame on a 4x4 F250, be any lighter or heavier than on a 2x4 F250? Same for a F350? (if anyone knows)
Lotsa questions I know
, so go easy on me! 
Any help or advice most appreciated! Have a great day!
