Talking Hello everyone new guy here

Hey everyone just found this site, I just bought an '82 F250 with a 429 TJ out of a '71 Bird i also drive a '90 Thunderbird with some stuff done to her. Iam looking for boxes to put on i wouldn't mind a flarside but it restricts the size of things you can put in it. It's a short box extended cab truck. Iam under the impression you can fit up to '96 boxes on?!?!

You can fit any 80-96 bed on your truck, but I was under the impression that Ford didn't put a short-bed on their extended cab 250's, I thought it was long-bed only?

I did see an F-250 extended cab short bed, but it was a special order and fitted with a flatbed goose neck!

Yeah it's a short box and a 250 i didn't know they are that rare, i have a 87 box to put on it and iam replacing the fenders with partials to keep it the same lines the 87 has smoother lines and no indents on the fenders. Personally i like the 80-86 look alot better, no offence to anyone. I just got new hood and both fenders too.
