1962 Ford F-250 Super Duty

The 1962 Ford F-250 does not officially carry the “Super Duty” designation, which was introduced in later years for heavier-duty versions of Ford trucks. However, this model is a robust representation of the Ford F-Series, which typically included engine options such as the 223 CID inline-six and the 292 CID V8. The F-250 likely featured higher axle capacities compared to its lighter sibling, the F-100, with a standard front axle capacity around 2,600 lb and rear axle capacity approximately 3,300 lb. Known for its durable construction, the F-250 offered various bed styles and axle ratios to meet diverse work needs. Identification can be based on engine type, heavier frame, and potentially longer wheelbase compared to the F-100. Keep in mind that the “Super Duty” label does not apply to this model, reflecting a misnomer or modification.
