F550

Iam not sure where to post this, but here goes. I am thinkng about getting a super cab F550. I know it comes without a bed on it. My question is where can I get a bed for it? I've seen F550 with a pickup bed on them. Thanks for any help

the dealer has to send your truck out to a body company/truck upfitter for any type of body on a chassi cab truck.

maybe you could find someone with a 250/350 who wants to go with a utility bed, you could buy it off them? try uyour local body shop? order a pickup bed from ford?

not perfectly.. The frame rails are different and the chassi itself is 6 inches longer(I believe). It could be done, but deff. custom work.

The pickup bed from a dually is what you are after. When installed on a larger truck it will look like a flare side.

The frame is 4 inchs longer on a 450/550. You have two options on how to put a pickup bed on it. Have a shop cut the frame and move the rear axle back to make it fit or they sell a spacer that takes up the space between the cab and bed.
