Bed question

Hi everyone,

A long time since my last post.

I´m in the quest to find a new large bed for my 1982 F100,

So do know if a 1987-1996 truck bed would be the same as mine???

I notice that the tail light and tailgate are diferente but I can't notice if the bed is the same.

Here in Mexico city, this truck is hard to find in good shape, so I want to have more options.

Thanks for your help.

The shape of the wheel well and contour around the opening are totally different. That said, the difference is cosmetic and people do it all the time because they can't find the correct bed. Just depends on how much it bothers you and what your goals are for the truck.

Yes, the 80-86 have more square-looking wheel well openings whereas the later years are more rounded.
