F-250, F-350 differences
Hiya
I thought that someone might have posted this question before, however I searched and could not find it. So I will post this question.
I know that this might sound stupid to many of you, but my question is: What is the difference between the F-250 and the F-350??
From all of the information that I could find, they sem to have the same engine options, transmission options, alternator, battery, brakes, fuel tank(s), and steering.
The only differences that I could find between the two are the rear axle, rear springs, and the option of having duel rear wheels.
Is there a difference in the chasses (frame). Becuase if their is not, then it would seem that an F-250 could be easily converted into a F-350 by just replacing the rear drive-train.
Just wanted to ask. Thanks for any replies.

SRW wheel F250 and F350 use a Sterling 10.5". Dually's wear a Dana 80. Don't forget that they have different badges & different GVWR. Not a whole lot else.

Only on the Chassis cabs.

I understand that the 350 has a 2" larger spacer, and would expect it to sit a little higher (2" or so) than the 250. But in looking at the specs in the Ford brochure, and at the Ford web site listed below, the numbers don't make sense !!

Notice in the list below, that the 4X4 250 SWB sits 79.8, but the 4X4 350 SWB SRW sits only 77.1 ???? The list doesn't make sense to me ???
4x2 77.2 (F-250 SWB)
4x2 77.0 (F-250 LWB)
4x4 79.8 (F-250 SWB)
4x4 79.6 (F-250 LWB)
4x2 77.0 (F-350 SWB SRW)
4x2 78.9 (F-350 SWB DRW)
4x2 77.3 (F-350 LWB SRW)
4x2 78.6 (F-350 LWB DRW)
4x4 77.1 (F-350 SWB SRW)
4x4 77.0 (F-350 SWB DRW)
4x4 80.0 (F-350 LWB SRW)
4x4 80.0 (F-350 LWB DRW)
Thanks,
Tom
