I just scrolled through all 9 years worth of vehicles with Type 3s in the catalog, they all say aluminum.

Perhaps this is one of the inaccuracies of the catalog, it's not known to be 100% error-free.

 

Hopefully this will clear up some of the confusion.

Type 3 and Type 5 as pictured are the most comon on F-250/F-350.

Type 5 were the only dog dish caps used on the F-250/F-350 between 1978-1984. No Type 3's from the factory on F-250/F-350 before 1985.

Type 6 wasn't used on F-250/F-350 untill 1985/7.

 

I have a set off my son's 96 F250. Not new but not trashed either. Lil dents and one has a hole where someone tried to pry it off it looks like. Make me an offer + shipping.

 

Which one has a hole the front or rear?

 

I think it is one of the rear ones. I'll try and get pics. May take a day or so.

 

I have the type sixes on my bronco. I thought they where special. One popped off when I was going in a parking lot and managed to roll in front of the wheel it came off of and crunch. I guess I can trash them now.

 

I wouldn't trash the type sixes.

Reconditioned (Like new) Type sixes go for about $120. Although the junkyard is cheaper.
