The basic support is the same, but there are a few welded-on additions that will need to be trimmed off....it can be adapted with a little work. Check out the writeup down at the bottom of this page:

I think I saw somewhere were guys were taking modern F600s and putting F350 beds on them and using them as "bling bling" trucks.
Yeah, I think I'd have either to try grafting some stepside fenders onto the styleside bed, or get my hands on another set of F600 front fenders and use those on the back too. Either way, it would sure be different!

The cab is different, the floor has a shallower hump for the tranny plus as Keith stated the steering column goes thru the floor not the firewall. I'd grab the engine and tranny for sure.

If the Dash doesn't have the cutout then wouldn't it be a perfect candidate for a body lift?

inheritance from a family member who my immediate family didn't know paid for the truck and then some.
