Did Ford not make a superduty truck in 1998? I can't find anything about them....

 

94-97 old body style..

99-03 new body stle...

There were SD's in 98 manufactured, but were labeled early 99's...

 

So there were none that carried the year 98 on them? Did Ford just get behindtrack?

 

The short story is that since the Super Duties were such a major change from the '97s they had to completely retool each plant they were made in. In order to keep a good supply of trucks, they did one plant at a time so as 1 plant was being retooled the '97s were still being produced in the others.

This all occured during the '98 model year so instead of having 2 different '98 models they just skipped it. It was planned, and not a mistake.

 

I was wondering why they did that, thanks for the knowledge!!!

No 98's year model, although there were trucks manufactured in the year 98(mostly 99's model)...

 

Mine was ordered Sept 98 and deliverd Nov 2, 98. It says 10/31/98 all over it.

 

I have a 98 super duty. Its the 97 body style. I am wondering how rare this is. I think most of the light dutys have the regular f150 front axles with half shafts. This one I have has the independent suspension. I would love more info on this. I cant seem to find parts anywhere or any spec details. thanks

 

You don't have a 1998 Super Duty - you have a F-250LD (light duty).

The early '99s diesels are quick to spot with a PSDV8 badge behind the turnsignals like the gassers. Also they run a smaller turbo like the old body style trucks. Quicker to spool, but run out of breath sooner.
