Truck bed question

[Lang]

I want to line-X my bed but was quoted $800 to patch holes, sand blast, primer. So can a newer bed be swapped easier/cheaper? Or near same price? Also electrical connections simple or same connections?

You could use a bed from any 99-10 Super Duty and the body lines would match. 2011 and newer will still fit but the wheel openings look slightly different.

Got any pics to compare or have a link?

Another bed won't be much cheaper, these go for pretty good money around my area, even when they're well used!

i had my 2011 done when it was new a week after owning the truck. i paid line X $650. So depending on the wholes they are patching and the added prep work to a 10 year old truck. the added $150 cost doesnt seem that bad to me at all.

$800 is just for prep work, another $500 for line-x

Are you guys talking about the bed exterior? Or just inside?

gonna be tough to find a bed that isn't going to need some work (at the very least paint) for that price. Seems an 08+ "new take-off" is going to be about $1500-2000 so you might be able to find gently used around $1000 or so, but then hunting or waiting for one that is the right color will be the real challenge, unless your truck is already white.

Any input on electrical connections? Same? Need new plugs?

I put a 2010 bed on my 1999 truck. Fit perfect, I did have to swap connectors. I used the connectors off my 1999 bed and spliced the wires from the 2010 lights to it.

Thanks. Is it wire for wire? I found a bed but have to drive a bit to get it and will just mount it there n drive home.

I simply found common, touched the rest of the wires until the ones I wanted lit up. Took about twenty minutes.

I do know there are three different bolt sizes, just replaced my bed not long ago, bolts differ in overall length and thread length, as far as the bed goes, I found a bed for $300, needed some body work and paint, $700, all in all $1000 in the bed, good as new though

Hope this helps

Well I need to know how many of what part #'s

best bet will probably be to contact ford, assuming you havent already, they should be able to tell you part #'s based off the location of the bolt in the bed, front middle back.

I called 1 dealer they just said they have 3 part #'s. so I need to know of which and how many
