I have an 8 footer with no fenders. It has those cool utility boxes on both sides that you took off the fender and bolted them on. I got it several years ago thinking I would use it but never did. It's all taken apart and needs the new wood and the chains are missing. Real nice shape otherwise.

1957/72 F350's used the same 9' Flareside bed, known as the Express Bed. Not available for F100/250's.
1957/72: There are two different tailgates: B7C-8340700-A (49 13/16" long) F100 6 1/2' bed only / Everything else: B7D-8340700-A (54 13/16" long).
F100/250's were available with either a 6 1/2' or 8' Flareside bed, depending on their respective wheelbases.

Does this mean the fenders are different as well or does the extra inches just hang past the bedside?

ALL: B7C-16312-A Right & B7C-16313-A Left (no tire well).
B7C-16313-B .. Left Rear Fender with tire well: 1957/72 F100 with 6 1/2' bed / 1973/79 F100/250 with 6 1/2' & 8' beds.
B7D-16313-B .. Left Rear Fender with tire well: All 1957/72 except the above.
F350's were not available w/a 9' bed after 1972 and do not use a left rear fender with the tire well. The bed is so long, the spare tire mounts in front of the left rear fender.

What wheel base do you have? The 9 footers were a longer wheel base and I'm pretty sure they never did a crew cab with one.
