I found this 96 and would like to purchase but I hate the utility bed. Would it be easy enough to remove it and replace with a standard bed? This truck has 170k, cold ac, and only 2500.http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/...4d6b701f66.jpg

 

As long as the bed you got has all the wiring and you have the fuel line hoses its only 6 bolts if I remember right that hold the bed to the frame

 

Thanks. I guess the wiring would include lights and tow package. I'm hoping I can make an even trade with someone for the standard bed...

 

if the bed off a 90 f250 would fit and ya didn't mind rust i'd trade ya lol

 

i actually like the utility beds

 

It depends on if they are both the same wheel base... (short/long) but yes the 90 bed will fit the 96....

 

let me do some checking and see what will/ will not fit.

 

Looks like an 8 foot bed which means that all 78-96 ford trucks except ranger will fit if they have an 8 foot bed

 

78 & 79 might "fit" on the frame but the body lines would not be right... 80 through 86 had different wheel openings and would not look so hot on an 87+


87-97 F-150_250_350 SRW plus 97 F-250 HD and F-350 SRW are the same...

 

here is my bed rust and all

Thanks, I really want this truck just not the bed. It has a V8 gas with only 170k. The woman bought it from a family member for 2800 to move fron Ohio to the east coast. Now that the move is complete, she wants to sell it...For 2800.... Ac still works.

 

truck is 133" wb according to my info for what it's worth - course if he's interested in spite of the rust would have to figure out how the heck to make the trade w/ me being in nova and him in sc lol

 

i hearya when i got my 250 i was actually looking for one w/ the configuration you have and ended up w/ a bed lol - o and for what it's worth the toolbox is stayin on the bed if ya actually want it and we can figure out how to manage a trade lol

 

ok in case the fb link for the pic doesn't work just added it to my garage pics

 

VA is a long way unless you have a trucker friend...
