Did all of the extended cab long box (8') trucks get the HD package, sterling 10.25 rear axle, 4.10 gear ratio 7 lug wheels, or was this a special order package?

 

they made normal halfton ones

 

My '01, and '03 were both Lariats, and not HD.

Then, for some stupid reason, they made the HD Package, and the evil 7-lug-which caused the Lariat division to disown the whole thing, and YES-Supercab, 8' beds became HD. I have an XLT with as much crap as I could get on it...but naturally, I'm studying how to put in a Lariat cluster, so I can have Climate Control, instead of Manual A/C.

 

I actually have a '04 f150 scab, 8' box, 4x4, heavy duty package that is a lariat. I understand they made a few at the beginning of '04 perhaps only in the Canadian market (my truck came from Canada). And yes, they put the stupid 7 lug steel wheels on my lariat. I would ove to put some different wheels on but can't find any I like or I'm afraid they'll stick out too far.
Any suggestions?

 

Centerline makes a wheel for the 7 lug trucks.

 

On the 97-03 body style (maybe even just the 97-99 models, not sure), you could get the regular half-ton 150 with extended cab and long bed, or you could get the light duty F250 (same body style as 150) with the 7 lug wheels and heavy duty suspension.

Not sure with the 04-08's, but I'm pretty sure most of them are HDs.

 

All after 04 with the scab/8ft bed have the Heavy Half Payload package. Upgraded battery, transmission cooler, Sterling 10.25 Rear axle, 4.10 gears.
here's mine
