Another Flatbed question

Would this fit on my bump? (71 F250 4x4 longbed)

Removed from 79 F150. Should be able to fit on just about any truck with 8ft bed. Nice shape. $150.

You might have a prob. with the rails on the flat bed matching your fram. 79 F150 Fram is wider.
But i bet you could make it work.

All the flatbeds I've owned have been "build to fit". Many are simply attached to the frame with stacked wood blocks. I prefer to build steel mounts and use the factory frame holes when I can.

Nice bed. Flatbeds come in single wheel and dually widths for an 8 foot length. Even though it came off an F-150 you might make sure the width is right for your truck. Single wheel beds are the same width as the cab. Dually beds are 6" wider.

I wouldn't want it too wide. It would look silly.
