97 F250 HD

Hey everyone,
I have just recently inherited a 97 F250. It is a super cab long box with a 5.8 L and automatic trans. It has HD badges on it. I need to know if there is any difference between a normal 250 and the HD front ends.

The driver side TTB arm bracket that bolts to the engine crossmember is cracked. I'm going on a 2300 km trip and need to find out if any bracket will work? Or if I'm only going to have to use another HD bracket.

Thanks for any help it is greatly appreciated.

Jarrod.

Thanks. I didn't think there would be a difference between HD and normal.

I had found this in another thread.

How can you tell a D50 from a D44?
The locking hub on a D-44 is smaller than the mounting flange.
The locking hub on a D-50, D-60 is the same size as the mounting flange.

There are other differences. Recently, there was a discussion on the differences between the light duty and the heavy duty F250s. Took me a little while to find it, but if you what to know about a F250HD, I would start with this
