1997 Ford F150 6 cyl Four Wheel Drive Automatic
My husband and I were discussing the condition of his 1997 ford f150 4x4 pick up truck that he uses as a work truck for hauling scrap metal. The box has had its share of mishaps and is begining to show. So he's been scouting out a replacement box but has only been looking at the same make and year as the one he has. But I believe he has more options does he not? After all the saying " made ford tough with chevy parts" had to have come from somewhere? So I guess my question is, Is there really that much of a difference in truck boxes and their frame mountings for the older model trucks that would resrict interchanging, and any suggested models to consider?
Thank you
