cab to axle and frame on an 80 single wheel 1ton

I'm looking for the cab to axle and frame width dimensions on a 80 single wheel 1ton. I'm trying to see if a utility box will swap from a 2000 ford single wheel 1 ton to an 80 chevy

Thanks!

not 100% sure, we have a fleet of 8 or 9 super duty's at work ('98-'11) & have mounted & unmounted hitches on them, pretty sure the ford frame is wider.
on my '85 K30, the back of cab to center of wheel is 55", & the frame width is mostly 36" wide.

I think we need more detail.

If I remember correctly there was a K309 (same as pickup), K310 and K314 model cab chassis, all with different wheelbases.

Re: cab to axle and frame on an 80 single wheel 1ton

The truck I had the non factory service body on was a standard pick up. As a neat side note the frame from that truck now has a dt466 motor in it with a cab and box off a mid 90s chevy truck per a friend of mine. But I have the all aluminium service body still and have a guy interested in it but he wants to put it on his 2000 ish ford single wheel 1 ton glad cab. My service body is still at my buddy's house and the ford still has the bed on it so I was hoping in all the knowledge here that was some of it. By the way I. Flattered and humbled to have an unsolicited visit from the Keith Seymour
