2006 Bed Size Question

Hello all, first time poster here. I bought a 2006 access cab in July. It's a cool truck. SR5 with the I force V8 in Silver. 80K mi, 1 owner, already had the frame done. I'm trying to buy a lumber rack but I'm getting a lot of the sites saying there's not a compatible one. Did they change the bed width when the style changed between 06/07 and that's why I'm getting jammed up? Anything else I should know about this year/model? I'm a total noob, always had fords before, kinda bought this on a whim because I was truckless and the price was decent and I thought it looked badass. Thanks in advance...

 

Nice truck and welcome!

I have no input other wise, sorry.

^^ This is specifically what I want in terms of the rack. Also was trying to source a tool box and encountering the same problem, when I enter the make, model, year into the website it spits back that they have no products matching my truck...

 

Don’t look for stuff for 07, firsties only went to 06. While digging recently for another member, it appear the bed lengths and widths are the same between a 06 access cab and a double cab.......BUT the depth of the beds differ.
When all else fails, measure 4 times and hope for the best! But seriously, measure your bed and compare it to specs that are with whichever manufacturer your leaning towards. Good luck lumber jack!

 

I remember this confusion when i was shopping for my old gen 1. The bed of the AC and double cab are different. The double cab was 04-06 so double check measurements before buying

 

My camper shell is from an AC. Fits my DC just fine. The rear corners might have about 3/8 of an inch gap. The AC bed must be a smidge longer.

 

What is your tire rims and size PCJ?. I’m looking and like the size you have.
