I read alot about crew cab rear frame widths - just thought I would share my trucks, past and present:
1979 F250 4x4 std cab - 37" wide O/O
1978 F250 4x4 SuperCab - 37" wide O/O
1979 F250 4x4 Crewcab - 37" wide O/O
My supercab came equipped with a "Ford" V-5 hitch off a newer Ford truck and it bolted right up. Tonight I am picking up one from a 2015 F350 V5 for my 79 crew. Measurements over the phone sounds like it will bolt up no problem.

Hard telling Ryan, since your truck has had the frame stretched, it may not be square.
Is yours the one where the "new" rear section is 37" and the original was 34" or was that someone else's that widens at the splice?

Refurbishing shortbed box found in junk yard.
Boxing frame rail to accept later power steering gear.
Installing 1990 IDI Diesel backed with ZF5 tranny.
Banks Sidewinder turbo kit.
Utilizing in cab fuel tank converted for diesel plus adding rear 30 gal and center mount 20 gal.
Building four link front and rear suspension with King shocks.
37" tires with undecided model and rims.
