A camper shell question

Thank you 4 opening my thread.
I have a shell on my 94 f350. It is the 8ft box. My friend went 2 buy it off of me. We took it off my bed and placed it on his 8ft box on his 2002 f150. And unfortunately, the shell was about 2" too wide.
So in what year did they change the width of the beds?

Yep, i'm pretty sure what White said is true, you're probably stuck with the 89 - 96 crowd, maybe the 80's model will take the camper too, but i'm not 100% sure.

Your cap fits 68-97 F150, 96/97HD f250, f350

Chevys from 73-87 and Crewcabs till 92

Dodge from 70s - 93

the F150 changed in 97 and used the same body style till 03 or the 04 "heritage"

Can't believe you didn't notice the difference till you put the cap on
