brake rotor question

i have 2 sets of EBC GD7187 brake rotors off my 04 f150 i had, one set had bad bearings and one set is good that i took off when i traded. im trying to figure out if they will fit on my 08. when i look them up online the application chart shows a specific vin but not which digit of the vin. my 08 lariat the 8th digit is V but im not sure what the engine has to do with it. i payed like 600 bucks back in 04 and itd be nice to do something with them. im sure the set with bad bearings could have the bearings replaced. anyone have any thoughts on this?

this is the chart

I would say they would work! And the bearing should be replaceable too.

I haven't even had a wheel off this truck yet. Are the rotors a hub assembly? I was thinking I read they went to a 2 piece hub and rotor.

I did my brakes this past weekend, on the 2wd the front rotors are an integral rotor/hub assembly.
IIRC the 4wd is a floating rotor design.
My bearings were fine so I considered having them pressed until I saw I could buy new rotors and hubs assembled for 80 bucks.
The rear rotor/drum pieces just float but can be a pita to remove because the shoes wear into place with within the drum surface.
