1995 F150 Bed Replacement

I am in need of a new bed for my 1995 F150 LWB. Hauling firewood this fall has caused the bottom to just about to give out from rust.

Maybe a crazy question, but: Has anyone ever replaced an 87-96 style bed with a 2009 and up F150 bed?

Just throwing it out there before I start looking for a southern bed.

WHY? They are not even CLOSE to matching and the price on a bed that new is going to be $1500+

Look for a 87-97 bed and save all the pointing and laughing

I agree with you Brad. The reason I ask is I found an 09 box for $700. I got a price on importing a southern box and the quote was $1200. Thought it might work.

Hate to pile on, but yeah - it would look bad. I'd build a flat bed from old 2X4's before I put a new bed on an OBS truck.

Maybe we should have a sticky somewhere about the slang names for the various trucks. I know it confused the heck out of my when I first started reading. Well, actually, it still confuses the heck out of me.

I find it pretty easy to remember. The '80 - '86 are Bull Noses because they are all squared off, like a brick. The '87 - '91 are Brick Noses because they are still pretty boxy, but with rounded corners, more like an animal than a piece of construction material. And '92 - '96/7 are Old Body Style because they are the newest of the three!

Thanks Bob. That's sort of what I thought, but wasn't entirely sure.
