Flat Bed

Hey all, I'm looking at putting a flat bed on my 1986 F250. I'm considering one that came off a 1990 F250, will this bolt up or am I looking at some fab/welding work?

What is the size of the flat bed and your bed? If they are both same bed length i'd say it should mount up with little fab work.

I am planning on going and checking it out and taking lots of measurements...

I just wasn't sure if there was a design change between the frame on my '86 and the '90 that would create more work and material than it's worth.

No, the frame is the same for 80-92. The bed should be a drop on with little fab work needed.
