stupid question

So I have an 81 100 stepside and have salvaged parts of many different 150s. I just saw an 81 150 stepside for sale on ebay and it looks exactually like my 100. What was the difference?

The F-100 is a lightened down f-150. It has less load capacity and suspension and also some came with an ultra-light duty (swiss cheese) frame. However most parts are interchangeable.

Chevy made Stepsides.

Ford made Flaresides.

What kind of parts do you need? I have a LOT of parts for Flaresides.

Dont worry about the mistake in names it happens...they are pretty much a truck between a ranger and the F150. The body is the same as the F150 its the suspension and such thats a little different.
