1980-1997 beds will interchange, including tail lights, and tail gates. 1987-97 beds have more rounded fender openings, and slightly differnt lights. 1980-86 have more square fender openings but I do know that the lights, tailgates, and hardware will interchange, F150-350.

80 to 97 will interchange.

80 to 86 will fit, but not look quite rite due to different body lines
87 to 97 are exactly the same

Sounds like my truck, but I like it that way, it gives it "character"

I have a '92-94 bed on my '90 F150.. and '92 doors. Both fit fine.. but the bed is slightly wider that the one that came off... maybe 3/4" total. It's no enough to notice unless you look down the body from directly in front, the bed sticks out a hair on each side. Check out my gallery pics...

The back of bed is squared off more on 86 down truck . Light do fit but dont look well. Tailgates will work But the latches are different. Hey If it your truck having the right trashed bed or a nice bed and be off little. Go for the nice bed. 87 are all same.

This is the ‘87 - 96/7 Forum. For future questions about your truck you should be in the ‘99 - 16 Super Duty forum https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/forum30/ . There is also the ‘99 - 03 Diesel forum https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/forum31/

Good luck with your project.
