Bed Data & Measurements Request
Hi guys.
I’ve either been a member here for a bit, just casually browsing around and posting from time to time, or just new, but now I’m working on a project and need some input.
We’re developing a new universal truck bed canopy system, to be seen in time to come, and as part of the R&D, we need some general bed measurements. I was planning to just go out and peruse dealer lots with a tape measure and notebook, but haven’t fit the exploration it in my schedule yet, so thought I’d post something where real owners could help.
The data I need is as follows:
1)Year, make & model of truck
2)Cab & bed size combination
3)Front bed top outside width
4)Rear bed top outside width
5)Top outside side length
6)Bed top side ledge width
7)Bed top side hole spacing from front, and size of the square holes
8)Bed top side hole spacing from rear, and size of the square holes
a.Also, note, if there is third middle hole or not, on each side
9)Bed inside depth, from floor to top edge
10)Front bed top edge to top of cab roof height
Specifically, as pertains to this list:
'97-'03 F-150
So if a few people here with the various bed sizes would be SO kind and oblige as to go out with a tape measure for 5 minutes and take some notes, that would be FANTASTIC. Still am planning to do more first handle examination of the beds, but this would be a really terrific jump start on my data collection.

I just got the link to the GM, Ford, and Dodge upfitter catalogs, so that took care of most of my questions. Thanks a lot, and I'll be sure to stick around with interest and input on Ford trucks.
