Frame Width/Bumper Question

Hi all, I am looking at replacing the rear bumper on my 1977 F150...............I am thinking about ordering the "Bronco" Style bumper from Jeffs Bronco Graveyard...............my questions are: What is the frame width insided to inside on a 77 F150...........My truck is at the painter now, so I cant measure mysef, and would like to order the bumper If I could.......

Question 2 is what kind of brackets do I need for that bumper? I have the original step bumper that was on the truck with those brackets...........will they work with the bronco style bumper or not?
