I Saw A Seven Lug Today

[icanfixall]

Today sitting at a stoplite I looked over at this F250 and noticied it was one of those "special" 7 lug rigs. I thought I would never see one because of the low production numbers but there it was. It was a gas motor so it wasn't much to look at.... I wonder if Mel might be thinking about converting one over to diesel.... Maybe Pendot slayer is looking for some payback..

Funny you should mention that Gary, I was fishing for some Powerstroke parts at my buddies shop last week and he was working on an 8 lugged snooperduty with the 7 lug hubcaps.
Yup, I was laughing too.

Was it a '97? That was the only time I've seen the so called "light duty" F250. It looked just like the then "all new F150" in '97. You know, the ones that had the exhaust exit infront of the rear passenger's tire.

i have never seen one in person, just in the pictures that was on here the other day

My buddy has a 99 Light duty F250 w 7 lugs and another fried has a 7700 F150 that has 7 lugs, i think that is a 00 They are more common than you would think. You just have to look at EVERY f150 style truck you see and look for the F250 emblem or the 7700 tailgate emblem on the f150's

I have seen the 7 lug hub caps but never a 7 lug axle.
Big ? is where do you get wheels if you break one?

 

[sootman73]

i thought they were just seven lug hub caps because they were aftermarket and thats what they did to get around the patent for the factory ford hub caps? the farm truck has 7 lug hub caps. we never understood why they were that way.

Ben, those trucks they mention here really do have 7 lugs on the axles. The hubcaps you speak of are a van thing usually, I also never understood the idea of fake-7 -lug caps over regular 8-lug wheels...

I've never understood anything ford did with their trucks after 1997.

I've had one in at work before, I *think* Alcoa makes wheels for em. Not sure on that one though

 

[Diesel_brad]

alcoa, centerline and american racing made wheeels for a 7 lug. but only one per manufacture. and I have only have seen the ford chrome ones and their painted wagon wheel style

the only way to help the engine run better, to make it think it lives in an IH, oh and it's good for about 75 ft lbs (no IH is a HP monster so ya might as well thow hp #'s out the window ) .
