SD Frame Specs
I've done some browsing around for this...but didn't find what I was looking for. Are the frames the same gauge & height on the '99 to '07 super duties? I can't imagine there was a change...but I don't know that for a fact.

Ford fleet could probably provide that. They have 2005 as the farthest back that I see online.

The body builders spec sheets have a fair amount of frame info. You can find them for all years here:

I checked the 2001 and the 2006 and they both had the info. I didn't confirm every year, but it should be there.
Look under the Suspension (frame) category.

I've looked at those links before...great information; but I'm still not seeing what I'm looking for. When I say gauge, I'm talking about the width between the rails; not the thickness of the steel. Like I said, I'm assuming the '99 to '07 the frame is the same gauge...I can't see Ford changing something like that...but I don't know that for a fact.

I don't know positively that it has not changed, but I don't think it has. Because the beds interchange between '99 and up, so the bed bolts are the same center distance. Thats a pretty good clue.
I think the chassis cabs might have a different center distance than the pickups.

This all goes back to a buddy is looking at building a hy-rail truck (used by railroads for track inspection). Without going into a long detail explanation...I'll say it's legal in sanctioned groups. Anyway, he's got the gear for a '00 F250...and wanted to make sure it would apply to a '99 to '07 SD. I told him I thought it would...but would double check. Thank you for your help Bill.
