Thread: Beds

I have a 2006 f150 fx4 off road and it has the five foot bed but I want a six foot bed so could I just buy a six foot and just put it on there. And it world fit??

Frame would be too short and the wheel wells wouldn't line up because you have a shorter wheel base with the 5.5 bed as compared to the 6.5 bed.

Any basic frame or upfitter shop can do a frame extension.

Keep in mind though this will weaken your frame's strength.

If done right it won't weaken it significantly, but it still weakens it. Ever play with silly putty back in the day Joe? Same concept, you're taking a certain amount of material and stretching it farther. Eventually, just like silly putty, after a certain extent it loses it's strength. Going from the 5.5 bed to the 6.5 bed on a Supercrew takes your wheel base from 145" to 154". While 9 inches doesn't seem like a lot, that's a lot of stretching in that frame. It definitely won't be as strong as it originally was or would be if he had a factory Supercrew with the 6.5 bed.
