Yes, the manual is compatible with the F-250 Light Duty models. To be more specific, it covers the following models:
- F27, X27 = F-250 Styleside (4x2, standard and SuperCab)
- F28, X28 = F-250 Styleside (4x4, standard and SuperCab)
These codes refer to the F-250 Light Duty, not the Super Duty. The giveaway is the Styleside bed and the absence of any “Super Duty” mention. The F-250 Light Duty for 1997–1999 was basically a rebadged F-150 with 7-lug wheels, often called the "heavy half-ton."
So yes — this manual does cover the 1998 F-250 Light Duty with 7-lug wheels. You’re right to point out the difference — the Super Duty (which debuted fully in 1999) is a totally different truck with a separate frame, suspension, and powertrain setup.
