Thanks for playing this little trivia game with me. Actually the first time Ford used the name Super Duty was in 1958, when Ford came out with the monster motors the 401, 477, and 534 gas truck engines. Starting in 1958 any truck with any one of the three engines had the Super Duty badge on it. I know that this was used until 1969. I do not know when Ford started using it again. It is very possible that they never totally quit and continued to use it on some of the bigger trucks with the S/D engines, I just do not know for sure. Mobey Dick said he had seen the badge on a 1975 model, so that leads me to believe that the name may have never been dropped at all. Perhaps some of you may have more info on this. I have two pages devoted to the N and H series Ford trucks on my website of which many were Super Duty's. I also tell a little S/D history on the website. www.michellesfords.com Go to the bottom of the page and click on the N or H truck page.
