A quick question about 97 F350
Hello everyone I bought a 97 F350 P/S Crewcab today and my question is.The body looks different than my 97 F150 did they do a body change mid year?
I'm confused The title states 97 the body tag says 97 the motor says 97
Any help?

F150, OBS ended 1996. So 1997 was the new body style.
F250, OBS ended 1997, So 1998 was the new body style.
So 1997, F150, and F250 side by side, are not brothers.
1997 was also the inception of the F250LD. It is the 1997 F150's brother. Body style is identical.
The 1997 F250 OBS are badged F250 Heavy Duty. It's because of the F250LD of the same year.

Were they still using the F250LD badge in 98? I know they eventually changed it to a HD F150 with 7 lugs but I dont remember what year that was.

In it's short life...97 to 99, I've only seen the 7-lugged, sheep in wolf's clothing as the F250 LD. I never saw one as an F150 HD. There are a couple of each year's on a few lots around here. All badged F250.
