Do you have the tailgate? If so post a picture of it.

This is...at least a 1983/86 bed, as the 'gate is supported by cables (I can see the cables upper attaching brackets).

1980/82 tailgates were supported by metal scissor type straps similar to 1964/79's.

Otherwise...1980/86 tailgates look the same, Ford changed the styling in 1987.

looking at the fender wells/openings it should be a 1987 thru 1996 bed.
