i put this together for my virtual garage here for log truck.you can always print this out to describe the truck:

The F-Super Duty 1987-97 (the original super duty prior to '99 pickups) was introduced to bridge the gap from the F350 to medium duty trucks.It was a commercial cab & chassis 2WD dually only optioned truck.Known at the time as the "One Ton Plus."
It sports a HD frame,the hydroboost brake system w/ 4 wheel disc brakes & driveline emergency brake.A HD dana 80 rear axle that came from ford with gear ratio options intended for two purposes; heavy hauling & towing.They came in various wheelbase lengths with up to a 15,000 LB GVWR.It's widely known as the F-450 equivalent with many auto stores listing parts under either name.These trucks are easy to spot with their pickup size cabs,yet unique F-Super Duty fender emblems & 10 lug wheels.

additionally,the axle code on the door jam sticker of your '94 f-sd,is either a 72 or a 73
72 = 4.88
73 = 5.13

from this site,the owners manual and wiki.
see 8th gen (when the f-super was introduced)
Ford F-Series - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
^i dunno how accurate it is there about diesel only option in the 8th gens,but i know you could get them with the 460 in the 9th gen (92-97) at least.but who in their right mind would want a 460 with 4.88 or 5.13s? lmao! silly option imho. that would be like a 4-6 mpg rig for my setup.be better off just running a medium duty diesel truck rather than a f-super w/460.would be cheaper.
