Is there a differance between f250 beds and f350 beds, im specifically asking about stepsides and not flatbeds. If they are differant what are the interchangeable parts?

do they share the front clip, fenders and cabs?

im interested ina 54 f250 and just wonder if it was available stock.

There is an 8" truck bed that I'm trying to buy in Arizona and I live in Missouri but I simply don't have time to make the trip myself, does anyone go that way regularly and how much would it cost me?

Radiator for l226 Http://www.usradiator.com/ford-truck-1948-52-l6-cyl-v8-350-radiator.html

what are they whats the differance and how do you identify them?

Its a bare frame with only the rear spring mounted, and its the front pins im having trouble with. Ok that makes sense il get thread rod and try that

so I'm on summer break now and have spent the last couple days cleaning and painting the frame. Any tips for removing the rear spring mounting pins?

To be honest, I don't plan to use my truck for extreme hauling, but I do need to be able to haul construction supplies, and sheets of plywood. I figure steel should be fine so long as I paint it well and properly protect the frame. this thread has got the gears turning in how to fix up the frame.

by the way what coating did you use on the frame? and why the dana 60?

ok, this is exactly what I needed, I will definitely follow these to make some from steel, would aluminum work?

Can you send me a link of the pictures or email them to me? i found a forum post of you describing the process of making them but cant find the pics online.

Did you drive down a rough or angled road, is the tank baffled, is the gas cap vented, and what temperature is it in the cab, has there been a major temp shift?

Ok so i went through my "Archive" of referance pics and found two pics i saved of beds, which one is mounted properly or are they both mounted improperly and if so what is the correct way.

I am having trouble finding a diagram for how they are constructed or mount to the frame, does anyone have pictures of one disassembled or mid rebuild mounting etc. Any referance images are helpful.
