8 lugs, rear duals, only 7000 miles and runs like a fine tuned monster.

Don't take me as an expert, but that sounds like an E-350.

I've seen E450's, and I think they had 10 lugs.

Someone else here has to have an idea

My '05 E450 Superduty MH chassis, GVWR 14050, has the 8 lug hub/wheels.
My 1995 E350 chassis MH had the 8 lug hub/wheels also.
I believe in 1998 MH manufacturers were using the E350 on smaller units and the E450 on the larger units. If memory serves me right the front tread width was widened on the E450.
How about the VIN?
What is the GVWR?
How big is the unit, what does it weigh?

After going to the web page above to find some information it shows the Gvwr class as 7 and the Gvwr range at 26.000 to 33.000 pounds, and it was built in Lorain, OH and it is 31 foot but i have no idea how much it weighs

I did not see any link you may show but if it is a E350 the GVWR is going to be around 11,500 lbswith a GCWR of 18,500 lbs. If it is the E450 the greatest GVWR you could have is 14050 with a GCWR of 20,050.

If it is a class 7 truck it will have the 22.5" 10 lug hub/wheels.
Something isn't adding up here.
What site are you makiing reference to?
