frame widths

hey guys.i got a questions about the frames and springs on the 53-56 and 61-66 f100s. Are the frame rails in pretty much the same location as far as frame widths??? are the leaf springs on the rear the same lengths??? The reason i am asking is I am looking at air ride technologies for air ride on my 64 f100 and they only make a air ride kit for the 53-56 and then the newer ford pickups and i want to know if i can use the kit for the 53-56 with lil modification.

Frame dimensions are the same. I have a 53 rear half welded to a 65 front section. Spring locations and different. I ended up drilling and bolting the 65 spring hangers to the 53 frame.
