What faily of beds does my '98 F-250 belong to? Its not a late model SD or LD!

 

Huh?

 

My '98 bedrail is different than a late model SD and LD. How many years did they make this bed?

 

If I am interpretting your post correctly, you are asking what years and models have the same bed as your 98 F250. It's not a LD w/ an updated bodystyle, and the bodystyle is prior to the current SD bodystlye, right?

I'm not positive, but I believe the beds are the same in the F150, F250, F350 (SRW) from mid to late 80s through 98.

 

First off, I only have the rear 1/2 of the bed with tailgate for displaying purposes. I am looking for confirmation that this was a 2 year only bed,SD '97-'98, an odd ball it seems. Can anyone confirm or deny this? It is from the late model family '97-'03.

Thanks

 

there was no Super Duty in 98.

So this was the same bed since the 93 redesign.

Same dimensions as the 87 redesign, but slightly different stamping.

 

92(all)--97(f250HD and F350) had the exact same bed.

 

What models and years share a '98 F-250 bed?

 

There was no 98 heavy duty F250. Light duty 98 f250's have the same bed as 97-2003 f150's

 

It looks like its a LD F-250 made for possibly 2-years, '97-98. It is not identical to a '97-03 F-150, but very similar and using the '97-03 tailgate. Any input?

 

Is it possible it could by a 99-up F250/350 bed? They use the same tailgate as the f150's

 

Wasn't there a 2 year run of F-250 (new body) in the beginning of the new body style run? Previous body style (thru '96) only available in SD? Also, what is the forum here for regular '97-03 F-150?

 

here is the poop.

Ford made a pickup from 92 to 96. this was the body for all trucks (150, 250, 350, 450)

Ford then released the new 1997 redesign in 96. As this new truck had a smaller engine bay, they could not cram the 460 nor the diesel into the engine bay without a lot of work.

So for the 97 and 98 model years, Ford continued to use the 92-96 body for F250, 350 & 450.

At the same time, guys that needed a little extra for towing/hauling but liked the new style they beefed up the suspension of the new style 98 truck and called it the F250 light duty. At the same time they caslled the othe old style 250 the Super Duty to differentiate..

iN 1999 Ford introduced the new Super Duty range of trucks and then discontinued the 250 light duty.However, they did not get rid of the 250 light duty option. They renamed it F150 7700# payload package with the same 7 lug wheels.

Does this make sense?

 

Thanks J-150. Was '98 the only year they made the F-250 LD?

 

97 & 98 they made the 250 LD
