I know I am stepping into a tight spot here, but I really would like to plow in a truck cab this winter rather than outside, backwards on my farm tractor! I think you all know why..... I have a 97 F250 xlt road worthy "farm" truck. I found a 95 3/4 ton (F150?) with a plow <$1000. The big question is will the plates fit my truck.... Anyone?

I also have the typical rust under the rocker panels. Any idea how much I am looking at to have cut out and welded in? Ball park is fine.. Tips, tricks, buy new, etc.
Thx;

The current truck is a F250 (not F150). So the simple question is - Will a 95 match a 97 for push plates.... I am hearing most Fords are the same configuration for the plates.

As far as I know the frames are the same. Safest bet would be find out make and model of the plow and call a dealer.

The rockers I would estimate $500 at least if not closer to $700.

Welcome to the site.

'97 is the year they used the new F150 style on the light duty F250's. I know the light duty F250's in 97 have 7 jugs. If you have HD 250 (same body style as the 92-96 F150 through F350) than the 95 3/4 ton (3/4ton is a F250) than you should be fine to swap everything over. Are the body style's the same? That is a good tell.

 

Good point Dan forgot about the light duty 250.
