Frame Dimensions

Hello there,
I hope you guys can help me out. I am in the process of building a 2x4 square tubed frame for my F-100. I am in the Army and unfortunatly I don't have a complete truck to go off of. But I need to know the distances from the front wheels center line to the center of the front body mounts. I also need the same measurement for the front "dog house" support mount/crossmember.(The radiator mount). And from the front wheels centerline to the rear cab mounts. Any help you can give me would be great. I am also eager to learn about new tips and tricks to frame building, if you all have any to share. The front end will be a Volare front with a 9 inch Ford rear end. I am going for a low pickup, and the frame will be raised 4" in front and 10" in the rear. thanks for your help..

PS, Another quick ?... Did the 1956 come with a "box" bed option, like the 1957's and up?? Just curious.:-X11
