swapping out beds.
Is it possible to swap out the bed from a '72 f100 xlt ranger with a different bed. The bed I have on my 72 is completly rusted through in the floor. so bad that i am affraid to walk on it or put anythig with weight to it in the bed. I am haveing a hard time finding a replacement bed for it in the yards or the parts catalog I have. Is it possible to put another trucks bed on here?

Hi jndeere yes you can swap beds from 1967-1972
It is not to hard just 6 bolts and tail light wires
If your bed is that rusted you may have to cut the bolts out
As for finding a replacement bed I bought a doner truck with a good bed and a nice alum grill for $600.00 ( engen was shot )
now I can sell the hood, doors,power steering and power brakes for more than 600 to get free bed and grill.

YA see what I meam ! I have already sold the parts
for a total of $900 . you don"t want to pay shipping
on a hood from washington state to virginia.
just keep looking in local want adds for a parts truck
close to you . A lot of non running trucks to buy.
If you need a bed and a hood it will pay you to buy
a truck take what you want and sell the rest
