F530/F53 chassis

[Paintjar]

Are the F530 Super duty and F53 the same chassis?

I've not heard of an F530, but I do know that most of the chassis parts for my F53, I have to specify that the chassis is an F550.

Thank You! That will help. I have learned from the Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forum, the lenth of the rear frame rails make a difference, otherwise the same. I have a 36' with 3 axles. What is your lenth?

My unit is a '97 Bounder with a tag axle. Basic Ford wheel base is 208" (front axle to drive axle.)

The Ford F53 chassis has been built in several different wheelbase lengths.
Since 2000 the Ford F53 chassis has been offered in 200", 208" 220", 228" and 248" wheelbases. There may be other lengths prior to 2000.

My 97 F53 w/ tag axle has a 228" wheelbase.

I will be using F53 for information rather than F530 Super Duty. I have found a EVTM for the F53. Thanks Again!
