Well it's not sheet metal, it's aluminum! I'd say chances are nothing will bolt up without a lot of work. The body and frames are completely different between the two generations, not like the previous redesign.

Aluminum is a metal as well.


I didn't say Sheet Steel.

Just thinking...

Maybe he wants the lightweight for better mpgs or something (?)

Lemme tell you, the '15+ owners are getting screwed on the ride quality, what with missing that 700# of weight. This is a case of "the grass is NOT greener on the other side..."

Stick with the steel body parts and enjoy the superior ride quality...

Plus, your bumper won't look like it's hanging off, like the 15+'s do.

Yeah I looked close at a 15 at the dealer the other day...makes me glad I didn't trade up from my 2012. Now the F350 FX4 with a 6" lift was sweet...the $78K price tag wasn't.
