No it is not, no 8' bed is an Express. Express only applies to the 9' Flareside and 'wrong' Styleside beds installed on F350's thru 1966.

1957/60 Styleside beds installed on 1961/66's are called 'wrong' beds, because the bed lines do not match the cab lines.

'Wrong' bed as shown in 1964/72 Ford truck parts catalog (lower pic):

ND question

ND,

Thanks for the correction on the 9 ft. Express, I was misled by a post in the earlier models forum on this site.

Am I correct to think any 8 ft. 57 to 72 will fit any 61 to 66 F250 4x4 and also fit any 61 to 66 F100 4x4?

I am looking for an 8 ft. flairside for my 62 F100 4x4. I am not too concerned with anything outside the 61-66 time frame unless it will fit and look proper for the year.

thanks in advance.

I would go with what is on the data tag. All the external parts will be the same (as far as I know).

What have you been smoking dude? Stuff like this makes me want to never trust a PO any further than I can throw them. Remind me never to buy anything you are posting for sale.
