1999 Bed 2wd swap with a 2003 4 x4

Hello all need some help. I have a Ford 2006 4 x 4 with bad bed damage. I found a 1999 Ford bed on auction. My question will it match up? Will wiring harness match up also? I need it but not sure.... Any help would be great! Thanks...

2006 is NBS (new body style) 1999 is a different style. I don't think it would work without either modifying the bed or the frame. But that is a guess.

I think for an 06 you need nothing older than an 04 (non heritage).

Someone in the know should chime in and either confirm my thought or wave the BS flag.

Good luck

jgger,
Thank you for the fast response. I made an error, My trick is a 2003 not 2006 as I had posted. Do you think with this body style it will work? And by the way I love your Quote! Again I thank you......

Ok jigger, I've made another error. It is a 1997 NOT 1999. Are they still same body style?

I think the 97 to 03 plus Heritage in 04 is all the same. As long as it is the same length bed I think you are good to go. But PLEASE get a second opinion before you buy a wrong bed, I am making an assumption on this.

A body shop or a reputable Junk yard may be able to tell you if it will work, perhaps even a call to the dealer. I just don't want to be responsible for having you fork out money for something that won't work.

Good luck
