??????? - Super Duty - ???????
Hi everyone!
I hope this is in the right place. . . . .
My wife and I are thinking about buying a camper/trailer and need a HD truck to pull it.
Long story short - I located an F-350 w/SuperCab and a 'work box' (like electrical contractor's box, or 'heavy rescue truck' with compartments, etc.) on the back, instead of a bed, for less than $8,000.00
(Don't know the year, just spotted it on the road, this morning.)
Anyway, this looks like a fairly new truck.
From what I can tell, it is a 'dually' and is in decent shape.
No dents, dings, scrapes, etc.
Is it possible to get a standard pick-up bed (from salvage yard/dealer, etc.) and fit on this type of truck, or, are the frames/wheelbase different???
Thanks in advance!

Beds from many years (99-2008 IIRC) interchange easily. Matching paint would be harder.... connectors and taillights would be easy to change if needed, but, agian, IIRC, they stayed mostly the same from gen to gen....

From what I understand, there are some minor programming differences (and possibly a different turbo??) in the cab and chassis trucks, which is what that truck probably started out as. But the wheel base and frame should be the same. Finding a bed shouldn't be too difficult. Heck, an aftermarket one might suit you better.

I think you're good as long as it wasnt a chassie cab model in which case i think the frame rails are different than on the pickup models

might have to re-locate the fuel tank? I think those get moved around sometimes depending on what upfitters are doing with it.
