Are you talking about the intake plenum bolt count? If so read below
If that's the engine it left the factory then yes you have a 10 bolt intake plenum the only years that the 8 bolt came IIRC were from 94.5 to early 95.

On a roll with odd questions. Trying to order front springs.(4x4). Truck has the heavier rated springs over the 4800 in 2003. IIRC either 5200or 5400LB rating on the front
2 leaves now.
Would anyone know what rating would be close to the original. Plow truck so more concerned with it handling weight over ride.
Too many choices between number of springs and weight rating on each spring.
Guess I'm asking if anyone knows off hand if 2030lb,2630lb or 3250lb rating would be the right springs for the 03 f350 with the heavy duty front springs.
2 leaves now.

Another one that I can't seem to find an answer for before digging into this. Trying to have as much as possible on hand before I tie up the truck.
Replacing the pipes/ exhaust as well. Can't find a stock size 3 1/2'' down pipe. Ordered a 4". Question is about the clamp at the turbo.
Can't seem to find any sizes when searching them. What do I need?? Thanks.

If you're talking about the downpipe clamp...here's a ford part number for the clamp...clamp size will be the same regardless of pipe size.
