8' box swap info needed

New to Ford, just inherited a 2009 F150 with 8' bed.
Only 42k miles, but box is dented up pretty bad. Have opportunity to get complete take off box for 2017 f250. Does anyone know if this will fit?
Thanks in advance!

Not sure about the newer Superduty trucks, but I know for a fact the older ones are wider than 150's.

Might be a good idea to check it with a tape measure before buying it.

A little wider & longer, but less CF.
I wonder, are the frames wider as well on the Super Duty? If the mounting holes are the same, I think I'd go for it.

I think I will have to go measure things.

For me it is easier to take the free 2017 F250 and find someone that will trade you for a 2009-14 long bed and if the F250 bed is not free just find the right bed for yours. Another thing is you could drive it around with the Experienced bed it has on it because even it it would look better than the F250 Frankenstein look.

I still have my 20# with the 18 inch metal handle, virtually un-breakable with out the help of hydraulics or heat.
