On rock auto you can click on “info” for the parts and see which hose ends it gives for the different trucks. Then compare those.

The main color is the Electric Red for the whole truck. The Light Opal is probably the center filler color like this:

Go to RockAuto, check compatibility there. The pumps may be the same. Even if they are the same, the pulley's may be different. Best bet is to see if the hose ends are compatible.

I think it looks like it should work but not 100% sure I'll do a bit more research.
I need to check hose end
and pulley
And pump itself
Just confirming that I take the cross member for the transmission from the f150 frame and put it in the f250 frame

the best way to do it is have both frames there when doing the swap.
this way you will have any parts from the engine and trans to put on the new frame if they are missing.
