Bed I.D?

Hi Folks

Yep, it's another fleabay find (ignore the price, you'll only get upset at the expense lol

FORD F 150 PICKUP BODY no reserve on eBay, also Van Pickup Parts, Vans Pickups, Commercial Vehicles, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 24-Apr-09 20:00:00 BST)

Does anyone know the year/generation, and more importantly will the tailgate fit an '80 - '86?

As usual, my humble thanks.

All the 80-96 tailgates will interchange IF you change the hardware around and how it mounts to the truck. Some had metal straps, some had cables, and there were different brackets and bolt sizes. If you have all the mounting stuff there for the original bed, you should be able to mount that stuff to any year tailgate and make it work, and at worst case, have to make a junkyard trip for a odd bracket or so.

Looking at the bed though, I believe it's a 97-up, and I don't think they will work.

Thanks for the advice once again guys - not often things like this come up for sale and as you can see when they do it ain't cheap.

Much appreciated
