Part interchangeability between 1997 F250 LIGHT DUTY (7 lug) and 1999 F250 Super Duty (8 lug)?

I have the 1997 F250 Light Duty that broke down a year ago sitting here. It got busy and also none of the people I contacted to come get it were ones I wanted on my property. Anyway, I got someone reputable coming to get it in about a week. They won’t be casing my property for stuff to steal for drug money.

Anyway, the terms are that he will come get it for free as long as the catalytic converters are on it, otherwise it won’t be worth his time. He said if I wanted anything else off this truck, go ahead but just leave the cats.

I am not going to make a career out of this but figure if there is anything else that might work and be a good spare for my other truck, I should grab it real quick. My gut tells me that there is very little that would interchange but does anyone have any idea if there is anything worth pulling as a spare? Both are manual transmission 4WD trucks. The 1997 is a 4.6L and the 1999 a 5.4L. I know this thing has a lot of great parts on it but don’t want to keep something I don’t have a use for. So far I have the LED headlight bulbs which were not cheap that will fit the other truck but that is all I can see from what I have found.

Thanks.

You might want to fix the title to F250.

What about the alternator and starter? Rockauto would tell you if they were interchangeable.

I assume the scrap dealer will need the title to legally recycle the truck.

The starter is a no-go but will check the alternator as that is a good point.

Just make sure the title is transferred so it’s out of your hands.

I corrected it (only changed F150 to the correct F250), you could have also… :smiley:

Just look at what parts you think might fit, that you might want to keep, and then check part numbers for both, if the same keep them, if not don’t bother…

I would just let the whole truck go

You’ve got someone reputable coming to get it and that’s the main thing, right?

Just make sure to sign the title and report to the dmv that you sold it, so that you’re not liable for whatever happens afterwards
