Question:
My vehicle: 1997 F350 standard cab flat bed dually with 7.5L gas engine. Specific to part DZ370311, will the rear mounting bracket this piece clamps onto the bottom flange of the vehicles frame fit a factory reinforced heavy duty frame being that it is slightly thicker than the standard frame?

Hey Jim! I checked with the manufacturer's and no one differentiates the fitment for the reinforced frame models. They're all labeled heavy duty. So long as your truck's frame hasn't been aftermarket modified then the DeeZee Nerf Bars item # DZ370311 will fit your 1997 Ford F-350 Heavy Duty.
