I dont believe so, my 2000 f250 was recently hit in my school parking that just about ripped the whole bed off, the kids insurance company quoted me $2,500 to fix the bed so they wrote me a check for $2,500. Instead of fixing it I just decided to go out and look for a bed instead. I found many 2011 beds for sale but the holes for the bolts are in different spots I believe. I just ended buying one off a 1999 for $400 and pocketed the other $2100
The bumper is a direct bolt on. The swap is easy . you need 3 self tapping screws for the fuel filler, Also drill a small hole in the plastic of the rear bumper for the winch handle since its on the other side of the license plate, , use the existing tail light harness from the old truck and splice the reverse lights pigtail to it. All bed bolts are in the same spots.
It will bolt on, but the rear fender won't match the front. the profiles are different.
You are correct, the flare is slightly different. Otherwise the bed will be an exact match.
I had a chance to pick up the bed this week. Right now its at the body shop going to get paint next week. At the same time going to check and see what a set of new doors is going to run and maybe just paint the whole truck, make it last another 11 years hopefully.
Just got it back from the body shop, we had to paint the bed (originally red), and I ended up just taking them the truck to put new rockers on the doors, clean up a few rust issues, and do some other things to the truck to basically get it as good as new. They put the bed on for me and put a gooseneck hitch in while they were at it. They said it all bolted up, the fuel filler they had to drill a couple holes (mine has a hole for urea so they blocked it off). The wiring was close, I haven't seen what they did yet, but I think the truck looks 100% better now.
