Whats the diffrence?
Whats the diffrence between the F100 and f250's frame? Is the F250's frame tougher?
I'm considering a frame swap between my truck and a 76 f250. it has the disc brakes, 4 speed granny, and power steering I wanted to do, but it's on 8 lug wheels. i figured swapping frames and either moving the axle forward a few inches, or extending my cab back would be easier (and more fun) than trying to move all those parts over, especialy if the fram is stronger. I know mine is lose.

beater, Best I can tell the frame is the same, the difference is all below the chassis with the springs and axles. A lot of other componants like steering gear and metal lines are the same.
All of the swapping that I have been involved in we have swapped the axles under. I want to do a sheet metal swap, because it might be easier, and you get the out of cab gas tank.
