Bed swap question!
hey guys!
I am looking at going south to pick up a new bed for my 88 F-250 4x4 4.9 I6 5 spd... The bed I am looking at is off a 95 F-150 and they are both long beds with dual tanks... to my understanding the beds should be a direct swap out right? I know the front ends changed between 1991-1992 but the beds didn't DID THEY???? Please let me know ASAP what you know!
Thanks,
Nathan

well the bed was changed once already so the arches may be the same... I just want to make sure that it will match where it meets with the cab and the bolt pattern is the same...

The wheel arches should be the same 87-96. Any bed from this time should be a direct replacement.
Wheel arches on 80-86 trucks are squared off, and although they are also bolt-for-bolt swaps, they don't look quite right with the round front fenders.
