Bed floor Patch interchange

I'm hoping that someone knows for sure but I have a 78 f-150 with the bed off a 75 and it needs a patch welded into the bed floor. I wanted to double check that the bed floors from 73 to 96/97 were the same cosmetically. I know where a solid enough bed is to cut the patch panel out of is it's just off a 94.

Pretty sure it won't be an even swap, but may be close enough for a patch.

I had a '92 for many years, and I seem to remember the ridges were more squared off than my '78.

I could be wrong on this last thing but i think the pans are thicker on the 78 than the 97. Not sure about aftermarket but oem i think was 22gauge for the 88 and 18 on the 1976.
