Swapped the bed last night. Took 4 hours by myself with my bad leg but I ended up hanging the bed from the rafters of my shop and backing the truck under it lowering it with my cherry picker. The front panel where it meets the cab is pretty much shot but I will be replacing it when I pull it back off to go in the paint booth. I will also be replacing all the body mount bushings.
Now for pics!
Yes I know I still need to tilt the bumper back up and bolt it in

Not yet but I have two leads. I won't know until next week but I found someone doing a srw swap on a 90 who might trade me axles straight across about two hours from me. If he doesn't take it I found one at a junkyard just over an hour from me that me and a friend might be going to get for $300 from an 89.

My bad I misread it. I thought it said it had a longer yoke.

Update.......
My leg is healing well so I've finally been able to get out to the shop. I've been keeping an eye out on the internet lately. Found a guy parting out a 90 f150 with a MINT tan interior about an hour and a half from me. He's selling me the complete dash, all the interior trim, and perfect bench seat with no tears for 50 bucks. Sadly the doors are manual so won't be getting the drivers door panel I need since I already have the passenger side one in tan. The bench will be going in the back and 40/20/40 seats will be in the front once I recover them in tan to match. I'll be picking the stuff up on the 9th. Most junkyards that even had this stuff wanted at least a hundred dollars just for the seat. Score!

Got the tan interior in for the most part. It will come back out for the repaint but just doing mockup and test fit just to be sure it's not warped or won't fit. Dash is almost in place and all the other trim from the single cab is in like pillars and jambs. Pulled out the molded carpet and the only bad part in the floor was the driverside floor pan. Driver side front bottom door post had a little rust but not difficult to replace. I'll know the full extent of it after it gets sand blasted but all the rockers and cab corners feel solid. The passenger side floor pan and the whole rear seat section looks mint. Need to finish installing the dash and install my new bench seat in the rear for now until I find another descent set of 40/20/40s.

Quite a haul at the junkyard this week!
Complete tan leather super duty front and rear seats with one bad seat bottom on the drivers side for $100! Already found a new seat bottom for 200
89 crew cab rear door for $100
Perfect hood with no dings or dents for $50
A very nice fender for $50
I didn't get a picture of it but I found a 94 dually axle for $400 complete with wheels. I'm planning on picking up some of these next week but I'll eventually but it all. First things I'm getting is the crew cab door and the leather interior

I found a few write ups on installing them. I'm using factory seat belt mounting locations so I'm good there as far as safety and the tan matches it pretty well

So you are buying a used seat cover and foam? And the back has a split seam and 2 other holes
I can tell you this right now, unless you are mounting those SD seat on an OBS 40/20/40 seat pan you will jus be bolting them to sheetmetal
