Looking for a bed

I got hit by another plow truck last week and he screwed up my bed beyond repair. Its a 1989 F250 with dual tanks, 8ft bed. What years will have the same style bed for this truck? or are they pretty much the same from '87 on to '97?

yup 87-96/97. The tail-lights look a bit different but not significantly and the body molding has a narrower chrome strip on the 97-91. Otherwise everything else is the same.

cool, thanks guys. Guess there is a good side to this. Front tank and fuel pump needs to be done. With the bed off i can do brake lines and take care of the tanks a lot easier

Technically you could go all the way back to 80 but the bed will be a little different on the sides. It wont have the flair over the wheelwells and the tailgate attachment is different but you could do it if you found a good one for cheap.

It was a private plow truck. My '89 F250. I need to replace the bumper (planned on this anyways) and the whole light assembly is pushed in and the bed bent outward towards the wheel well on the passanger side.
