Replacement Bed for 03-07 F250 ??

[MARK_VANDERBENT]

My boss got rear ended in his rust free F250. Well the body shop told him instead of putting an old bed on it that may have rust, he would get a new Ford replacement . Well he then said he could not get one anymore. Anyone know where he could get a new Ford bed for 03-07 ??? He is trying to avoid aftermarket. Thanks.

Yeah the newer super duty beds will line up but the sheet metal won't match the OG super duties.
Probably tough to find a rust free 10 year old bed in the salt belt.
Up to 2010 the beds were the same sheet metal.
May be worth a drive to pick up a take off bed a little south of you. I'd rather have a used complete bed repainted than a fixed bed.
Think craigslist.

Thanks for all the replies. I have passed all these ideas on to him.

I have seen many ads for rust free beds from Texas on FB. I belong to a Ford lovers group there.

Check with a City or County public works department, as they sometimes remove new beds to install specialty ones.

The earlier posts are what I'd suggest. I've bought two trucks for my landscape business and as part of the deal, we have utility beds put on them (Knapheide). Knapheide keeps the original truck bed as part of the deal to give me a better price. They resell them to dealers, etc.

Quite often when I pass by their shop, they have multiple brand new Ford, GM, and Ram beds in the back lot.

I see many take off beds on Craigslist. Use the search for cities and try a southern state..

Might check with west coast wrecking yards, they may have complete rust free beds.

The styling is a little different, but I believe beds from earlier and later years still line up with the cab and frame.

1999-2002 should be very close, but 2008-2010 may also fit. 2011-2016 had more appearance changes and some chassis changes that may be harder to fit a new bed on the older truck.

Many firms that deal with after market utility box and wrecker equipment installations have pick up boxes that they have difficulty getting rid of.

Many of the truck "upfitters" that install work beds and flat beds have a storage lot with the takeoffs or can point you in the right direction to find one.
