Fitment, Shipping & Product Support
Verified Fitment
This slide fits the Ford F-250 Super Duty and Ford F-350 Super Duty with a 6.9-foot (short) bed, confirmed model years 1999 through current. The 79-inch platform was built specifically for the Super Duty 6.9-foot bed interior introduced with the 1999 Super Duty platform. Pre-1999 F-250 and F-350 had a 6.5-foot bed — those applications take the 75" x 48" platform (15-7548-CG silver).
| Make | Model | Confirmed Years | Bed Length | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ford | F-250 Super Duty | 1999–current | 6.9 ft | All cab configurations with 6.9' bed |
| Ford | F-350 Super Duty | 1999–current | 6.9 ft | SRW confirmed — DRW see Field 3 |
Fitment is bed-length dependent. Engine, fuel type, drivetrain, and cab configuration do not restrict this fitment provided the bed measures 6.9 feet. Confirm bed length before ordering — Super Duty is also available with an 8-foot long bed (SKU 15-9548-CG silver).

Critical Compatibility
| System / Condition | Interaction | Action Required |
|---|---|---|
| F-350 DRW rear axle | Bedslide's application guide lists Super Duty 6.9' bed without SRW/DRW qualification. DRW rear axle width and wheel well profile may differ from SRW in ways that affect bed interior width at the mounting rail location. | Text (469) 407-7538 before ordering if your F-350 is a dually. |
| Super Duty aluminum bed components | Most Super Duty trucks use steel beds, but some configurations may include aluminum components or rails. Steel slide frame in direct contact with aluminum surfaces causes galvanic corrosion. | Confirm bed material before ordering. Purchase BSA-HALUMKT if aluminum contact is present. |
| Tailgate with integrated step | Super Duty tailgate step accessories may contact the slide when extended. | Purchase BSA-SPACEBLKIT if clearance is insufficient. Test tailgate operation with slide extended before finalizing mount position. |
| Spray-in / drop-in bedliners | Installation over bedliners not recommended per Bedslide. Liner thickness and surface vary. | Remove or modify liner before installation. |
| Silver finish in heavy commercial environments | Super Duty is a commercial platform. Silver shows surface contamination — mud, oil, construction debris — more visibly than black in daily high-grime use. No functional or warranty consequence — both finishes are structurally identical. | Cosmetic consideration only. If appearance in a high-grime commercial environment matters, black (15-7948-CGB) may be more practical. |
| Tonneau covers and truck caps | No confirmed compatibility data. Cover clearance depends on profile and 4.5-inch deck height addition. | Verify with your cover manufacturer before ordering. |
No confirmed electrical, ADAS, air suspension, or OEM technology system conflicts for this product.
Installation Notes
Complexity: Intermediate. Dealer installation recommended by Bedslide.
Estimated time: Approximately 1 hour per Bedslide source data.
Install method: Drilled mount. Four ½-inch holes required in the truck bed floor. Permanent bed modification. No confirmed no-drill kit exists for the Super Duty 6.9-foot bed application — the BSA-F150-2017 kit listed in Bedslide's accessories is for F-150 only and does not apply here.
Required tools:
| Tool | Required |
|---|---|
| Drill | Yes |
| ½-inch drill bit | Yes |
| Riv nut tool | Yes (included in hardware kit) |
| ½-inch socket and ratchet | Yes |
| ½-inch open-end wrench | Yes |
| Allen wrench | Yes |
| Tape measure | Yes |
| Marker | Yes |
What makes it complex:
- At 200 lb, two people are required for safe positioning.
- Drilling four ½-inch holes is permanent. Center between wheel wells and confirm 1.5-inch clearance at the bulkhead before marking holes.
- Do not use air impact tools on riv nuts — hand-install only.
- Confirm bed material before installing. If aluminum components are present, BSA-HALUMKT must be in place before mounting the slide.
- Bedliner presence requires removal or adjustment before install.
Post-install: No alignment, calibration, or dealer visit required. Cycle under partial load and confirm all locking positions engage at correct intervals before full-load use.
Shipping: 79-inch platform ships LTL freight. Residential delivery included. OFAS will contact you after order placement to coordinate delivery.
Common Questions
This is $287 less than the black version (15-7948-CGB). What's different?
Bedslide's published pricing shows the silver Contractor at $1,834 vs. the black at $2,121 for an identical 79" x 48" platform, identical 1,500 lb capacity, identical 2+2 bearing configuration, and identical warranty. The price difference reflects Bedslide's own pricing structure between finish variants — there is no functional or structural difference. Silver delivers the same specs at a confirmed $287 lower cost.
What years does this fit?
The 1999 and newer Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty with the 6.9-foot bed. The Super Duty platform launched in 1999 — that's when the 6.9-foot bed and 79-inch interior dimension were introduced. Pre-1999 F-250 and F-350 had a 6.5-foot bed and take the 75" x 48" platform (15-7548-CG silver).
My F-350 is a DRW dually — does this fit?
Bedslide's application guide lists F-350 Super Duty 6.9' bed without specifying SRW or DRW. The concern with DRW is whether the dual rear axle's wheel well profile affects the bed interior at the slide's mounting rail location. OFAS cannot confirm DRW fitment from current source data. Text (469) 407-7538 with your year, model, and configuration before ordering.
Does this require drilling?
Yes — four ½-inch holes are required. No confirmed no-drill kit exists for the Super Duty 6.9-foot bed application. The F-150 no-drill kit (BSA-F150-2017) appears in Bedslide's suggested accessories for this page but is for F-150 applications only — it is not compatible with the Super Duty bed rail system. This is a permanent bed modification.
Should I choose silver or black for a work Super Duty?
The Super Duty is a commercial truck — if it goes to job sites with mud, oil, and construction debris daily, silver shows surface contamination more visibly than black. There is no structural or warranty difference between the two finishes. If appearance in a high-grime environment is a consideration, black is the more practical finish. If the $287 price difference is the priority and finish preference is neutral, silver delivers identical performance at lower cost.
What is the warranty?
5-year standard warranty. Lifetime warranty available upon product registration with Bedslide. Register immediately after installation.
The Obsidian Take
This slide is for the 1999-and-newer Ford F-250 or F-350 Super Duty contractor or commercial operator with a 6.9-foot bed who needs 1,500 lb capacity and either prefers silver finish or is working the price — at $287 less than the black sibling on identical specs, the case for silver is clear when finish preference is neutral or favorable to silver.
It is not for the Super Duty operator running a high-grime commercial environment where daily loading of muddy equipment, oily tools, or construction materials makes silver surface contamination more visible than it's worth. In that use case, the $287 savings on finish is outweighed by the practical reality of maintaining appearance on a platform that will be loaded hard every day — the black version (15-7948-CGB) is the more pragmatic commercial choice. It is not for the F-150 owner — F-150 applications use different platform sizes. And it is not for buyers who need full tailgate extension or 2,000 lb capacity — those requirements have their own SKUs on this same Super Duty platform.
The finish is silver. The specs are identical to the black version. The price is $287 lower. Make the decision based on your job environment and your budget — not on any performance difference between the two.
