Ford F-Super Duty Parts & Accessories

Ford F-Super Duty Parts & Accessories

The Ford F-Super Duty designation was used on Ford's heaviest conventional pickup and commercial truck chassis from the early 1960s through the late 1990s, covering the range of vehicles above the F-350 one-ton truck that required a medium-duty frame and commercial axle specifications for high-payload work. Applied to cab-and-chassis configurations of the F-600, F-700, and related medium-duty trucks, the F-Super Duty designation also appeared on certain F-350-based configurations with commercial upfit packages during the transitional years before the current Super Duty naming was fully established. This collection addresses the powertrain and chassis parts for vehicles marketed under the F-Super Duty designation across its production years.

Popular Upgrades

Parts for F-Super Duty trucks center on the FE and 385 series big-block V8 engines used in the 1960s and 1970s configurations, with Holley and Edelbrock carburetor and intake manifold upgrades for the 360, 390, and 460 cubic inch engines. Pertronix electronic ignition conversions address the distributor maintenance burden on these high-mileage commercial engines. Heavy-duty leaf spring packs from National Spring and Dana Spicer axle components address the medium-duty suspension and drivetrain specifications used on F-Super Duty chassis across all production years. Gates timing chain sets and Airtex water pumps cover the essential preventive maintenance for the FE and 385 series V8 engines.

Performance and Handling

The F-Super Duty's commercial-grade front and rear axles use Dana Spicer components throughout the production span, with Dana 60 front and Dana 70 or Dana 80 rear axles typical of the heavy configurations. The 460 cubic inch 385 series V8 fitted to 1970s and 1980s F-Super Duty trucks responds to an Edelbrock Performer intake manifold and Holley 750 cfm carburetor for improved throttle response and low-end torque suited to hauling and commercial work. Heavy-duty rear leaf spring replacements rated for the specific payload class are essential for maintaining the F-Super Duty's commercial capability as factory springs fatigue over years of loaded service.

What is the Ford F-Super Duty?

The F-Super Duty designation was Ford's term for commercial-grade F-series trucks above the standard F-350 one-ton rating, applied to medium-duty cab-chassis trucks in the Class 4 through Class 6 range during the decades before the current Super Duty naming convention was introduced in 1999. It encompassed trucks used for the heaviest commercial applications that still used the F-series cab design, including F-600, F-700, and F-800 configurations with commercial diesels and heavy-duty suspension packages. The name was retired when Ford introduced the current F-250, F-350, F-450, and F-550 Super Duty lineup in 1999.

What engines were used in the Ford F-Super Duty?

F-Super Duty trucks used a range of powertrains depending on the specific model and era, including FE V8 engines in the 1960s and early 1970s, the 460 cubic inch 385 series V8 through the 1980s, and International-sourced diesel engines including the 6.9 and 7.3 IDI as diesel options became more common in commercial applications. The commercial-grade FE and 385 series engines share basic architecture with their passenger car and light truck counterparts, making the broader Edelbrock, Holley, and Pertronix aftermarket applicable to fuel system and ignition upgrades. Diesel-equipped F-Super Duty trucks draw from the 6.9 and 7.3 IDI aftermarket that is also used for the E-series van diesels of the same era.
