Im going to look at a bed today,for my hb....The bed was to be used on a crewcab standard 8 foot bed,,,my question is will this bed work on my highboy frame,I understand maybe some mods with bolt layout,just wanted to make sure wheel wells are in proper location,thats it .Thanks for the help

 

as long as its a standard 8 ft bed yes it will fit,just drill new holes to bolt down. Now, if its off a camper special where the rear axle was set back from the factory then no, just measure from the front of your box to the center of the wheel opening and then do that to the one your going to look at and that will tell you.

 

1973/76 Stylesides have exposed fuel caps, 1977/79 Stylesides have fuel doors.

1973/79 F350's on the 140" wheelbase (see below) use different 8' Styleside beds, as the rear axle is set back further. The spare tire is located behind a door on the right quarter panel.

1973/76 Regular Cab Super Camper Special - 1973/79 Regular Cab Trailer Special - 1973/79 Regular Cab Camper Special. Ford dropped "Super" after 1976.

 

Thanks Bud,my cab is not on my frame,and this bed is not on a truck as well.But its not a Cs just crew,thought it would fit just wanted to make sure,,,will be doing some measurements,thanks a bunch Im heading out now

 

Thanks Bill,really apreciate it

 

Well? Did ya buy it?

 

looks like it ,,,,,real clean rust free,a few dents,,dual gas doors which I dont want,so patches or bed panel ,,,so I will be watching your swap on sides....I have a 75 hb and Im looking for rear exposed gas cap look ,call me ahole or what.

 

Hey if i can get another favor from whoever has a tape and a truck ,,,,,,outside measurements of bed + - seeing width for trailer transport,,,,thanks again

 

Width at widest point 78" Length at longest point 101" Hope this helps.

 

Hope this helps. It does help .Thanks hickory

 

Just in case, most of the beds I've loaded up were upside down. A few guys showed up with pallets or lumber to transport right side up and I just wished them good luck as I thought they would need it.

As long as they are relatively sound you can roll them over sideways. I've done it on grass numerous times with no ill effects on the lower edges of the bedsides. I've also rolled them end for end lifting on the rear of the bed.

I wish my 73 had the fuel door every time I take the gas station squeegee to my paint to rinse the fuel off of it.
