My 2007 Ford truck has holes in the bed. I looked for shaped metal that I could have welded in but found only metal for F350 for some reason. Really don't want a bed liner but would like to get it fixed. Any Ideas?

I would go to a local dealer and see if they can help.

Perhaps the salvage industry can help with that, either with a full bed from a wreck to replace or the same to cut out the components required for a direct fix.

I thought the f350 was a f150 with heavier springs and brakes. Now they call a 250 and 350 heavy and super duty no more 250 or 350 label.

F150 has been distinct in body, chassis and drive train, from the F250/350 for many years, maybe decades.

Bucks County Pa and Galveston County Texas . We are many miles apart. I was up your way a long time ago. I think maybe we need to take another trip.

There was a place in Grafton or Wellington that had beds that were change out to service truck beds. You may find something like that

Trouble is, it's uncommon to put a service body or flat deck on an F150. They're more likely to go on a 350.

Thanks everyone I've looked on car-part.com, which is the national junkyard index - only 3 F150 beds listed nationwide and none 8ft like mine. I guess they all rust out. Most parts have hundreds of listings.

A sheet of plywood works but not very well.

No, there's much more differentiation than that between the 1/2 ton, 3/4 ton and 1 ton trucks. "Everything" gets a lot heavier duty as you move up that spectrum.

Having been in/around the salvage business, I'd recommend actually visiting a salvage yard in person. They may well have a bed that is not listed due to damage that makes it unsellable but has enough intact floor that could be cut out for a repair. A u-pull-it yard would be best, as they are always cheaper, they allow you to actually go into the yard to look,

I agree with this as it'd probably be cheaper, but I also found a bunch of full beds on parts market assuming it's a

Thanks Kev, I considered this, the problem is I have a loading dock at my shop and often load work on a dolly. How do you deal with the back edge of the wood when rolling stuff in?
