hi i have a 96 f150 ex cab short bed,bad bed & have been doing a search fo doing a swap,everybody says that 87---97 are the same but some say that it is 87--91 & 92--96 so whats the deal,whats diff 87-91 & 92-96
thx noel
As far as the sheet metal is concerned, 87-96 ('97 F250), are the exact same. The side molding and tail lights are different between the Gen 8 and Gen 9 trucks, but they can be swapped if the small differences are a problem for you.
FYI, an 80-86 bed will also fit the frame & cab of an 87-96 truck, but the wheel wells, tailgate, tailgate latch, and molding are different and non-interchangable to an 87-96 bed.
