Fix rusted bed or replace?
1986 f250 6.9L
Standard bed i guess.
Rusted out corners etc. would be a lot of work to get it fixed.
Should i just find a replacement bed?
What year truck beds will bolt right up?

Newer beds just have a rounder shape to the wheel well, but the body lines are identical. My 86 has a 90s bed on it, and no one ever notices the difference. Yeah, different tailgate mounting too. For the abundance of these trucks, keep a look out for a replacement bed over fixing the current one.
EDIT: Here's a picture of mine.

Thanks guys, thats what i was thinking, where do yall recommend looking? i've checked craigslist but not many parts trucks on there, junkyards? And when yall say different tailgate mounting what do you mean? cause the tailgate on mine is rusted out in a few places too, and has been hit with something right where the handle is so thats not fixable, just gonna get a replacement
