So the bed on my 75 is pretty rusted out and im not intrested in fixin it, its gonne be my play plus do what ever i want and not break truck, so i dont care what it looks like just as long theres no rust cause i cant stand rust.
I might be able to get a 78 F150 long box for pretty cheap. Just wonderin if itll go on my 75 F250.

The awnser is yes it will work, but you will have to drill new holes slightly inward on the floor of the bed from the 78. The frames in the back were just a few inches narrower on the earlier 73-79 trucks the frame went to the slightly wider configuration in the second half of 77.
