F-100s, F-250s, F-350s, 4x4s, 2wds, lwb, swb, single cab, crew cab. Some are the same, some are different, it all depends. All the frames are the same width, but they are all different lengths. If your asking if they are all alike throughout the 67-72 period then the answer is yes, they didn't change until 73-79. If you could please be a little more specific we would be happy to help you out

I got a question on frames, My swb frame is week from all the hole shots and I want to beef it up. Can I use a 8' frame rale, is the extra length after axle what is the difference

The '65-'66 SWB frame is 115", same as for a '67-'72. However, the '65-'66 LWB trucks had a 128" wheelbase, compared to the 131" wheelbase of the '67-'72 LWB trucks, so there's a 3" difference in length.

The '67-'72 LWB frame is a stretched-out version of a SWB frame...some of the extra length is in front of the axle, some behind. You'd have a lot of work shortening a LWB frame to fit a SWB truck, but it could definitely be done.

If the 67 cab is from a F100 or 2wd F250, F350 SRW yes. If it is a F350 dually cab or F250 4x4 cab it will not.

are all 67-72 trucks the same from the firewall forward? Are all crossmembers and frame width the same on those years?

frame widths yes. crossmembers i think so. but the trans memebers might be different on auto vs manual. but i am not sure they could be the same.

There are 2 style of rear cab mounts. inside or outside of the frame.

I get it. I 've only had a good look at F350 mounts so far.
