Interchanging beds
I have a 2009 f150. One of the bed mounts and most of the cross beams are rotted out and it failed PA inspection. I need to replace the bed but am having a hard time finding an 8' bed for a 2009-2014 f150. My question is, will an 8' superduty bed mount up to my F150 frame without doing a bunch of modifications?

I've seen it done. It looks terrible. I do not believe the bolt holes are in the correct spot but nothing a couple drilled holes can't fix. But I question how bolt holes not in the correct spot will pass inspection if the collapsed rusty bed supports doesn't pass. A bed from 04-08 is a direct swap, but there is some minor wiring mods that need done because the 12th gen trucks have 2 bulbs per side for brake/turn and 11th gens only have 1 bulb per side. But if you simply pull the bulb of cut the socket off you get a hyperflash for the turn signals because the truck thinks a bulb is out.
