will a 86 truck bed fit a 96

I found a rust free bed from a 1986 f-150. Will it match up with my 96 f-250??

It will physically fit, body lines are a bit different as well as wheel well shape. It will look like a mismatched bed. I looked at a similar bed for my 95 several years ago when the truck got hit at a fuel island.

A lot of the older F150's only had one tank, make sure the one you're considering has both fuel doors. The beds are the same except for the moulding, the shape of the fender openings and the tail light lenses. The wheel wells openings can be made to look the same with a set of aftermarket fender flares and the taillight assemblies are interchangable.
