box crossmember replacement
Lads,
The crossmembers on my '98 F-150 box have rotted out and I would like to weld new ones in. I've searched online and have only come across crossmembers for the F-250/350. Would anyone be aware of ones available for the F150? Would the ones for the 250/350 fit on the 150? Has anyone fabricated their own?
FYI. I live in northern Scotland so heading down to the local junkyard and getting a Florida rust free box is not an option.
One more thing. I searched this site and only came up with this thread: "https://www.f150forum.com/f6/bed-crossmember-rot-need-some-help-120161/?highlight=box+crossmember".
Scotty.

Hey, Thanks for the link. I saw this morning but I'm looking for the dreaded front crossmember. I think my only option will be to fabricate one.
Thanks again!

Lads,
I found these on amazon. I'm hoping someone has had some experience with these. (sorry for the size of the pic, I can't resize it here).

Those look good to me, -if they are for the F150 bed. Better than having to fab one up.
We are repairing the bed as well, fortunately the underside is still good.
