Question f100 front clip, full-size or mid?

Is an f100 a full size chassis, or more like the rangers daddy? I have a mind to put a front clip from one on my explorer.

The '80 to '83 F100 is the same body as the other F series trucks. Same front clip as F150, F250, F350, and probably even larger trucks.

F100s were a lower GVWR truck compared to the F150, but physically they are the same size and appearance. The differences were usually in the springs and brakes, if I recall.

My f150 has a 9", the f100 a smaller one. I know my GM and Mopar diff's better than my Fords. Do have a 9" left over from demo Derby, it has 3.89 gears and a spool...I just had an idea!
