Arrow F150/250, same body?

I've never had a chance to see my truck alongside a F150.

Are the bodies of the 150 and the 2/350 the same bodies, or are the 150s smaller. I saw a 150 driving down the road from my gen, and it looked like it might be all around smaller...

I know the newer trucks are two different beasts, and that the 2/350s usually lag a few years for facelifts...

1980-86 F-150s, F-250s, F-350s are the same.
1987-91 F-150s, F-250s, F-350s are the same
1992-96 F-150s, F-250s, F-350s are the same

Some parts, such as doors, swap throughout all those year models. The bed from 87-96 was the same. Back cab glasses also can swap between all year models.

Broncos of those years also share the front clip and doors with the trucks of the same year period.

Yup, back in the days of simple swappable sheet metal.

Even though they are a little different, 80-86 and 87-96 beds can swap easy.

Yup all the same, the fronts from 80 to 96 will all interchange as long as you change the front because they never really changed the cabs. Oh how I miss those days

If the cabs didn't change, can I swap the interior, like the dash, between years?

I really like my front end and dash, but I woudn't mind a newer truck with a EFI 460, ABS, etc...

Well they are all the same width, but you have to remember, with new BS came new gadgets that required a gash light or gauge
