I have a Ford farm truck I want to get a flatbed body for and most beds are for frames of 32" or 34". How is that measured?

My frame is 33 3/4" outside edge to outside edge of the frame and 31" center to center. Do I have a 32", 34" or neither?

Thanks in advance.

Measured outside, 34" frame. It'll vary if it's a single frame, double frame, the crossmembers are the same width so the outside varies.................M
