No. Take that little cover off.
Its the cover... I thought they were 7 too.
every guy on the ford truck board that owns a 98 f250 light duty says they are infact 7 lug. now, you can call them a liar if you want but i wouldnt. also noone makes after market rims for these trucks.
The only people that thought they knew anything about it on the offroad.com ford forum said it was on 97 models.
nice graphic steven, you kickass at paint... Five lugs,seven lugs? who gives a ****, F*rds suck anyway...
Hey mister die hard IH fag.... Who makes the Powerstroke?
Chadwell,
It has become apparent over the life of this thread that you know nothing and are trying to justify your purchase of a powerstroke. Welcome to the fold.
Doug
I was thinking the same thing... My Cummins runs good - fixin to pull a 28' flat deck with two trucks to AZ and back. I will keep ya'll posted on how it does in the AZ mountains. I know the rent cars I drive have a hard time keeping up on some of those climbs on 17 between Flagstaff and Phoenix. Tractor trailer combos run about 30mph.Quote:

well i guess your right then....i mean noone that actually owns one of these trucks could be right anyway:rolleyes: :rolleyes: .....i never said that i read on the offroad forum board...i read on the ford truck enthusiast(sp?) board.
Well let's see here.
The stat that grayson provided was through may 2002, thought it may very well still be accurate. It is noteworthy however that it is for total light truck sales, which includes SUVs and who knows what else...minivans?. Also, that would include all of GMs "trucks" like the saturn SUV and the Buick one etc. As for the single highest selling vehicle, It is the Ford F-series. With the light duty and heavy duty seperation, it kind of screws everything up. I think that if you are talking pickup trucks only though, that Ford outsells chevy and GMC combined though. I could not find a website but I am sure its out there somewhere. I think I am going o take a stab at the lug thing and see if I am right or it needs correcting.
1997
F150 -- new body 5 lug
F250 LD -- ??
F250HD, 350 -- old body, 8 lug
1998
F150 -- new body, 5 lug
F250 LD -- new body, 7 lug
F250HD, 350 -- Old body, 8 lug
1999
F150 -- new body, 5 lug
F250 LD -- new body, ? lug
F250 HD, 350 -- new superduty, 8 lug
So it looks like all you need is a rundown of which years they made F250 LD, what body style they were (i think all new) and how many lugs (at least some 7).
On another note, I have only noticesd one of these, maybe it was a one of a kind thing, but when I was at the lake one day, I saw a crew cab, short bed, chevy, 4x4, and it had heavy half emblems on it. I thought it was sweet. Anyone know anything about these? EDIT : I remembered what i liked about it - the badging said "1500HD" pretty subtle as it was the only thing i saw on there. Maybe it is just some after market thing. Pimp.
seems like chevy made another "old school" option, body or whatever, but it is not comign to me right now.
Out,
Seth
Hey Ford/Mazda fag.....the last real IH, was made in 1980. IH light line was completely different that whatever new ****piles the "new International" heavy truck line is churning out.Quote:

It suffices to say... anyone with die hard brand loyalty has been chewing lead paint chips.
There is NO best brand... I am partial to Dodge, despite the fact that i want a real 4 door truck. The ONLY reason I would consider getting into another 7.3 liter powerstroke was if I decided I needed a crew cab. I too am not sold on the duramax yet.
Doug
i called varsity ford parts dept and talked to Bruce, he told me that ALL F250LD are 7 lug, and that that 5 lug wheel/7 lug cap idea is crap.
I've seen 7 lug cap, 8 lug wheels... Pretty gay...
Doug, the only justification I need is to be satisfied with what I bought, and I am. So don't worry about me looking for anything on this thread.
Go to the International dealer to get your Powerstroke parts and save money. Are you trying to tell me that International does not make Powerstrokes?
maybe you just cant count :rolleyes: :rolleyes:Quote:

I think he was trying to say that the new stuff is COMPLETELY DIFFERENT than what the former TRUE IH stuff used to be. I dont know how else to translate from english to...well..."ENGLISH MF...do you speak it??" :flipoff2: :rolleyes: :flipoff2:Quote:

No, I'm telling you you're being an idiot.

ford did not make a f250LD in 97. they started it in 98. however, after 98 they changed from a light duty f250 to a "heavy duty" f150. this f150 has the optional 7700lb spring package and DOES have 7 lug. it is still being produced as far as i know. it is rare though.
They make these. Yes, 1500HD. They are basically 3/4 tons. I'm not sure what the real difference is. They have 8 lugs and all the drivetrain is the same as the 3/4 and 1 tons. I think the biggest motor currently available in them is the 6.0. The duramax is supposed to be available next year.Quote:

The cap showed 7 lugs, the owner himself said it was 8. Now I will check tomorrow when I get to work.
Doug - Talk **** to my face. Don't be my friend in real life and an ass on the internet like everyone tends to do. If you are going to talk **** to me through a box, talk **** to me next time you see me. It's hard to tell when one is joking or serious over the internet, so if you are messing around with me say so. Otherwise quit being an ass.
dammit chadnutz, quit bein' such a sensitive little girl :rolleyes:
My balls don't grow when I'm communicating through the internet as most others' do. Therefore I don't appreciate it when other people's balls swell while they hide behind a computer screen.
my ballz will grow into your mouth :flipoff2:
Good, I needed to have my teeth flossed anyway. It's a bitch with these braces. Maybe you can be efficient and put each one between two different pairs of teeth...
mmm...ticklers :D
Seth read the bottom of the link:
U.S. Light Truck Market Share – 2002
Source: The Detroit News, Autodata ; www.autodata.com
Significance of the Data:
GM has increased share in the profitable light truck market
GM still controls the minivan, truck & SUV market
Toyota, Honda, & Nissan have yet to increase share this year
Ford lost 3% share of light truck market in last year
In other words the control all three
Good God, I want the last 10 minutes of my life back! Give me a ****ing break!
My aren't we the sensetive one... Somehow I find that the only time you act like a forkin' retard is on the internet... If you asked such stupid questions in pblic I would make fun of you there equally... some people just get stupider behind a computer screen.Quote:

Usually I find you to be an amusing and gentle guy in person. But here on the net you become a raging fool... what's that about? :flipoff2:
Doug
What dumb questions?
And I verified it for myself:
7 lug cap, 8 lug wheels. I'll post pictures as soon as I take them.
Just saw this at Tractor Supply. There was a light duty 3/4 ton there without hub caps, and it really had 7 lugs. Took me a few times counting to beleive it. So it is true. Maybe the chupacabre exists too.
.... and ryan how much have you had to drink?
Do u mean the lightduty 250, which has the 150 body?
Only 7 lugged Ford I have seen was the LD 250 adn it said '7700' on the back tailgate.
I have had no alcoholic beverages since about 1 am. Yes, it was a light duty.
And something more to add. I once went to look at a F-250 light duty 4x4. It had hellcats on it. Don't remember what lug count.
