Doncha think you should mention what series your truck is? 1977/79: There are two different types of 8' Styleside beds.
1977/79 F350's on the 140" wheelbase have the rear axle 'set back' so the rear wheels are in a different location than other 1977/79 F100/350's.
Plus these 140" wheelbase F350's have the spare tire located behind a door on the right quarter panel in front of the right rear wheel.
btw: No one can send you a P/M as you need 25 posts before you can send/receive P/M's.

OP: Numberdummy's word is golden. He was a Ford Parts Man for many years. So, please pay attention to what he writes. You'll learn something.

I've got a real good 8-ft bed, slight dent on drivers' side. Mostly damage-free bed-floor. Only some surface rust where paint was rubbed by a plastic bed liner. Dual fuel doors, standard wheel base, no tailgate, removed trim, includes marker and tail lights and harness, some holes drilled in bed rails for a tool box, or a topper, or something. I'm in Olympia, WA. $200, but make me an offer. Ph: 2O6-499-O84O

I'm looking for a std 8 foot box for a 1979 f250 4x4 if someone had a perfectly straight inside and out box I would be willing to pay a premium for shipping or go for a drive and pick it up restoring the truck to show quality. Thanks hard to find a good box in the rust belt and farm truck country

I know where there's one in Rialto (south of I-10, west of San Bernardino) CA, but that's a long way from Manitoba Canada.
I doubt the fellow that owns the Opel wrecking yard where the bed is located, would ship it. I don't recall the business name, but...
Last year, an FTE member (wagonerki) from WA bought a 1966 Bronco powertrain off ebay for 100 bucks in Riverside, then flew here, bought a raspy 1991 F350 Stake Bed from the Opel guy he found on Craigslist.
F350 hadn't been driven since 2008, getting it to run correctly was a pain, turned out to be faulty computer. Once that was replaced, Keith drove straight home to Sedro-Wooley with Bronco parts, without stopping, except for gas.
