Is a new bed gonna look stupid on my truck? - Page 2 - F-Series & SuperDuty Diesel Forums

Should be able to fine a almost new take-off for around a $1000.00 bucks,
just may have to do some looking, also wrecking yards.

Look for truck fabricators that put flat beds on pick ups. They should have new take offs.

yeah.. the body contours are completely different... kinda like back in the '60's and '70's with the older "bump sides" and the newer "dent sides" the bolt holes would line up but.....
