Any competent welding shop can put any bed on any truck. Be aware however the load carrying capabilities of your truck. An f250 is somewhat too light for dump truck duties. Springs, shocks, frame, and possibly brakes will need to be beefed up before you can safely use it.
 
thanks for your help

thanks man but still didn't anserwer my question. Does anyone know if a 83 bed will bolt on to 96.
