On my set of brackets for the f6 the passenger side does not have a part number on it like the drivers side has. Maybe someone produced these (not ford) and supplied the dealers with them to add on??

My bed measures 8'4" long. so I should probably assume it's not the original bed?

The F3 bed is 93.4" long and yours is 99.6". Does it happen to have a FORD script on the back? It's probably an add on from a dealer.

I posted this with the wrong picture, and now I can't delete it...

No Ford script. I would agree It's an add on, who knows when it was put on. It's very heavy duty, big timber cross braces underneath and it bolted right through the frame.
