few more differences from the pickups;

thicker HD frame
cab n chassis dually (sure could get an f350 this way,but the f-super only came in this non pickup form)
very,very low tow gears in that D80 rear (4:63? or 4:88? or 5.13)
hydroboost brake system
2wd only

I think he is referring to the F-Superduty. Otherwise you are correct.
