My 94 has cup holders. If they're supposed to be bolt holders they'd need some really big nuts.

There is not a time limit. but adding that the 97+ truck have cup holders is POINTLESS on a thread that is dormant 4+ years . Especially since the 94+ had them stock and they can EASLIY be added to anything pre-94

FWIW pure function, 87-96 vs. 97-03 in F150 only, in stock form, I think the 97-03 is a far superior truck. Just too bad they are so ugly, but on the other hand, back to function, they are more aerodynamic.
Aww but you mean to tell me 87-91 trucks aren't the most aerodynamic truck ever?




(posting this one because I know brad just loves 87-91s) LOL

I want an OBS (93-96 body style) King ranch they did introduce it in the next generation. I have the Eddie Bauer suppose to be the nicest for its day and honestly the only thing I have over base model I have power windows locks and AC with a two tone paint job. not much luxury. so if money was no issue Id have a crew cab 95F350 with a 7.3L for an 02 4wd 5 speed with the interior out of a brand new king ranch! tell me that isn't a sexy truck and you wouldn't drive it you be lying!

my last post was kinda in la la land so realistically I love my body on my truck I have always thought it was the nicest I love my 351 (even though I only get 9mpg) I don't care what your hp or tq numbers say my 351 will out pull any 4.6 or 5.4 any day all day long. now that being said I agree with most of you that the newer trucks are more car like. now honestly I do like the new interior much much more. if I could get a king ranch set up in my off eddie bauer I cant ever see a reason to get rid of my truck. I don't care if leather and heated seats is "To car like for you" I know id love it along with a much better stereo. so truck wise I like my truck or our trucks but the new isn't all bad they did bring bigger and better look at the new 6.7 making 500hp and 850 tq!!!!!! the amount of work in mods to even come close to that kinda numbers with the 7.3 is wild. the new trucks are good for what they are ment for. they are ment for the person who cant afford two vehicles a car and a truck so that's why they combined them.
