Appreciate the comments.

She has been semi-retired to fair weather cruising only.

Jimbo: Sounds authoritative. Very nice.

I enjoy this thread. I have always loved the 92 through 96 body style. Its great to see pickups that are taken care of and are sharp with perfect bodies that still look like new.

Thanks! To be honest I have no idea but I suspect that the front has been lifted to even it out. I know it has dual shocks up front.

The quad shock package was an option, my 88 bronk got it. It does look a bit higher in the front then most F150's.

That is a nice XL.

I think it would look slick if the front bumper was the same color as the rear bumper. I just think it would go well together since there really isn't much chrome on it.

That is clean. How many miles on it?

I don't have the plastic on my carpet etc. My carpet was really gross when I bought my truck back in 99 so a couple years went by and I got the rubber floor covering like the XL trucks have from Ford. Here is my truck's interior. Notice the Lightning instrument cluster.

Here are a couple other pictures of mine since the only picture of it is back at the beginning of this thread. It has now reached 265,000 miles!





Hope everyone had a happy new year!

This is sweet! I always liked this color combination. It was actually on my wanted list when I was looking for trucks before I found mine.

I do think it is odd that so many eddie bauer trucks are 300 5 speeds. I figured more of them would be automatics.

Sounds like a good idea. At some point I might locate a chrome rear bumper at a salvage yard.

I get bummed this time of year when I have to leave her in the garage for months on end. But with all the salt and crap on the road up here this time of year its best for her just to sit in the safe warm garage.

Just finished uploading a few more exhaust vids.

Here's one with the cherry bomb super turbos I had on it before. I like the way they sounded down low but when I revved it they'd get poppy and crappy sounding.

YouTube - 96 F150 with cherry bomb super turbos

Here is a drive a way shot with the cherry bombs, kinda surprised she didn't sound half bad in this one. Those mufflers really did suck though.

YouTube - 96 F150 Exhaust

This one is me driving it around with no mufflers or cats. Just five or six feet of pipe off the manifolds, dumping out behind the cap. This is from in the cab with the windows up and the rear windshield slid open.

YouTube - 1996 no exhaust
What are you running for exhaust now? I agree, those CB turbos didn't sound good at all.
