looking Technical informations about F100-150-250

[Bru70s]

Hy guys
I'm a frenchy and I'm looking on Craiglist to find the truck of my dreams
During 12 years I was the owner of a Ford Taunus '71 fastback V6
Nice european car, but I have a muscular disease and now I have to drive upper cars like a pickup. I'm not strictly fixed on a generation. I look between 1965 and 1980.

So before all I need to find some technical informations like the size of the long bed ( I prefer short bed stepside but its harder to find) due of the the size of my garage and also the height of the seat
Do you know where I can find this?
Thanks

Bruno

The long bed is 8' and the short one is 6', wheel bases for regular cabs were 133" and 117".

thanks Walt
well understood
I think I asked my question wrong. I need to know total size of the truck, short and long bed. 'cause I need to know if its reasonable to look at a long bed, maximum size of my garage is 275'

Do you know where I can download old diagrams with all measures?

A ‘79 f-series supercab w/ 8’ bed is 233”. A regular cab w/ 8’ bed should be 22” shorter, so 211”. A short bed would be 24” shorter.

ok good news so I can extend my research

and do you know the size between ground and seat on F100, 250... on a classic configuration ?

@rusty ol ranger ... can you help him out with some measurements?

 

[Bru70s]

sweet thank you
actually I drive a Rav4 and the seat is at 30' it's perfect for me and my handicap

I can go out and measure my 77 F250. Are you looking for a measurement from the ass part of the seat to the ground...im assuming?

absolutely

 

[rusty ol ranger]

Ok...My 77 F250 is about 39 inches. But my seat is somewhat broken down from sliding in and out. Id say 42ish on a fresh seat.



A F150 will be a few inches shorter, a F100 shorter yet.

ok thanks a lot
so I'll exclude 250 of my search, too high

 

[Bru70s]

no one knows where I can find this information for F100 an 150?

A 2wd F100 is going to be your best bet.

Join that forum. Ive had many 100s/150s of that vintage in the past but never measured what youre needing.
