Frame Differences?

Does anyone know of any difference in the f350 frames from 05 to 11? I am particularly interested in the portion under the bed. I am trying to figure out if an oem gooseneck hitch would fit back on my 05 if I changed the bed out as well.

Thanks,

Baatzy

08+. Has a different rear spring setup.AFAIK the widths are the same until 2016. Only difference in the bed would be the wiring for the reverse lamps and tailgate mounting. If your going that far get a rear bumper too.

Good to know, I wonder if the spring has anything to do with the hitch mounting? I would think that there would be no interference but everywhere I look has a different hitch for 05s and 11s.

The reason I am interested in this is because I found an 11 bed, tailgate, bumper and factory hitch all the right base color, just in need of the two tone to match my king Ranch.

Thanks,
