Ford F600-F700 Trucks

Frequently Asked Questions About Ford F600-F700 Truck Parts

What years and models are compatible with your F600-F700 truck parts?

Our parts are designed to fit Ford F600 and F700 trucks from 1980 through 1998, covering both the square body style (1980-1986) and the aero body style (1987-1998). Always verify your specific truck's OEM and model year before ordering, as some parts may have mid-year changes. If you're unsure about compatibility, contact our support team with your truck's details and we'll help you find the right fit.

Are these aftermarket parts or OEM replacements, and what's the quality difference?

We carry both aftermarket and OEM-style replacement parts. Our aftermarket options are manufactured to meet or exceed original specifications, using heavy-duty materials like 16-gauge steel for bumpers and chrome-plated or powder-coated finishes for durability. While aftermarket parts may have slight cosmetic differences from original Ford parts, they're built for commercial use and often feature improvements over factory designs, such as additional mounting points or reinforced corners.

What tools and expertise do I need to install bumpers and other exterior parts?

Most bumper installations require basic hand tools including socket sets (typically 3/4" and 7/8"), wrenches, and a torque wrench. Installation typically takes 2-4 hours depending on your experience level. Some modifications may be needed for aftermarket parts, such as drilling new mounting holes or trimming brackets. We recommend having a second person assist with heavy components like bumpers. Professional installation is advised if you need to weld brackets or make significant modifications.

What's the difference between chrome, painted, and stainless steel finishes for longevity?

Chrome-plated steel bumpers offer a classic look but require regular maintenance to prevent rust, especially in salt-prone areas. Painted bumpers with powder coating provide excellent rust resistance and are ideal for work trucks. Stainless steel options cost more initially but offer the best corrosion resistance with minimal maintenance. For maximum durability in harsh conditions, we recommend either powder-coated or stainless steel finishes.

Do you offer complete bumper assemblies or just the bumper shells?

We stock both complete bumper assemblies with brackets and hardware, as well as bumper shells for those replacing just the outer component. Complete assemblies include mounting brackets, bolts, and installation hardware, making them the easiest option for full replacements. Bumper shells are ideal if your existing brackets are in good condition. Check each product listing for what's included, as some items are sold separately to give you flexibility in building exactly what you need.
