yes for a couple years they made the F150 with an overload spring and different gearing and different axles (7 Lug) and called them F250 light duty pickups and then they had the Superduty F250 which was the HD model... the program ran for several years and majority of them were sold as fleet vehicles due to the higher payload ratings... very hard to find wheels for them, but almost all the other aftermarket parts are the same as the F150 I have seen quite a few... now here's the kicker, they did the same thing with the 04 and 05 model and called they hevy duty half tons and they wore the F150 badge at that point...
ask me how I know? because I have owned 3 of them... LMAO 97, 99, and 04.... the stopped doing it in 2005 or 2006, but the seven lugs were made from 97 all the way through till they stopped in 2005 I am pretty sure
