Bed Swap

I bought an 8 ft bed supposed to fit a 1987 F150 a while back from a scrapyard. Never got it on the truck. Now I need a bed for a 1997 F350 and want to use the same bed. Is this the same bed? Can’t see a difference. I imagine they all will bolt up but I want the contours to match,

if i remember correctly there are subtle differences, but not enough to really notice unless you are really looking for them.

No, one truck is in front of the shop, one behind the shop, and the bed is in the woods. Don't want to move it out if it won't work .Really don't have a good way to move it. If all you have is smart comments I don't need them.
