I realize that the 250 is a 3/4 ton but if you have seen the 98 you will understand why i'am asking this question... The 1997 250 has the older body style and the 1999 has the super duty body style...My 98 has f-150 sheet metal.....I might be wrong but don't 250's have 8 lug axle's??? The 98 I have has 7 lugs and is rated to tow 8600lbs.....Just trying to pick the brains of you Ford pros....Thanks for any info.........Jimmy

Your truck is an F-250 Light Duty. If you go in for parts that's what you need to tell them.
It's different than an F-250 HD or SD. The last year for the old style F-250 was 1997, the first year for the new style F-250 Super Duty was 1999. In 2000 (I think) they changed the name of your type of truck to an F-150 7700. It's the same thing.
Your truck is an F-150 on steroids.
If you do a search in here you'll find quite a bit more info on it.

Do a search for 7700 and after you root through the results a bit you'll find some good info such as at https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/s...d.php?t=318778
