Flatbed Question

Can anyone tell me if a flatbed off a 1975 F250 dually truck will fit a 1985 F250 dually? The frames look the same but one was in the weeds when I saw it.

Both are 2WD.

Thanks...

with a welder and torch, anything will fit... I believe the frame width is the same, just take a tape and check it out, if they are close enough to be made to work, you're all set.If they are a bit off, just make some cross rails to weld to the flatbed to support it.
