You have some issues to deal with.
First the frame rails are not straight/flat from the cab to the bumper on an 88 F350 I would expect the 150 is the same.
You could spend more $$ on the bed than the whole truck is worth.
If you really want a flatbed, I recommend you go to a PULL-YOUR-PART self service junkyard and get a bed from them.
Fords are very common so flat beds are out there but most will be on at least a 250 so be prepared to cut and weld to get it right.
If you are really lucky you could get all the bits at the same time.
