Exterior Parts for Ford F-350 Super Duty

Your F-350 is strong enough to haul tractors and conquer any terrain. Still, UV rays can discolor hoods, scrapes can damage bumpers, and debris from gravel roads can leave dings in your hood. Fortunately, you can find replacement parts that match the original components in fit, form, and function.

What are Ford F-350 exterior parts?

Exterior parts make up the body of the Ford F-350. These components include the hood, bumpers, fenders, and doors, among others. Generally, the parts are made of metal or factory-grade plastic. If the pieces wear out or become damaged, experts recommend replacing the parts immediately.

What is the difference between OEM and aftermarket parts?

OEM parts are components supplied by the Original Equipment Manufacturer without the Ford name or logo stamped on the part or packaging. In other words, they are an exact match to the exterior part on your F-350 Super Duty truck. Aftermarket parts are generic components produced by independent manufacturers. Often, they meet the same standards for fit, function, and safety. In a few cases, the pieces may require modifications.

How will you know if the paint color will match?

First, you need to know your Ford F-350s color key. You can find the code on the label inside the door jamb on the drivers side of the truck in the bottom left-hand corner. Look for EXT PNT or Exterior Paint followed by two characters (two letters, two numbers, or a letter and a number). The characters indicate the trucks exterior color. Also:

  • If you cannot locate the color code on the door jamb, you can call your Service Department and give them your trucks VIN and ask them for the color code.
  • If you are purchasing a used part, check the year of the vehicle and make sure the model is correct. Chances are the color will match.
  • If you are buying a new part that comes ready to paint, you still need to know the code to get the right paint color.

What are the direct replacement and custom options?

A direct replacement part has the shape and fit of the original piece installed on your vehicle as it rolled down the assembly line. Custom parts maximize the visual impact of your F-350. With custom options, you can add contrast or stylize your truck by replacing one or two parts. If you are looking for parts to upgrade your trucks exterior, start with the following.

  • Mount new front and rear bumpers on your truck.
  • Add an accent color to your F-350 with a hood of a different hue than the rest of the exterior.
  • Install fender flares to make your truck stand out.
