Frame differnece between 80's and 90's?
Is there a difference between the frames on the 87-90 and a 90-96 F-250? Also is there a difference between the F-150 and the F-250 from behind the cab back? I would like to know if I could cut a 92 F-150's frame right behind the cab and use use it to replace one on a 87 F-250.

the early 80's (i think 80-82) had what was called the swiss cheese frame. its full of holes. my father has that frame on his f-250 plow truck and has never had a problem, other guys avoid them or plate the frames.

wait what?!?!? you're going to cut the frame section to replace it with a different rear frame section?!?! i just have to ask why. is the 96 damaged? if its just rust or the axle, they will bolt right on. cutting the frame is a HUGE job. it needs to be z'd in, properly aligned, and you'll always have a weak spot in the frame, and you'll be dealing with heat seep problems, leading to potentially brittle portions. assuming they're both long beds, all the parts should interchange.
what is the rationale for cutting the frame?
