Question airbag options???

Did these trucks come with an airbag or have the option of having an airbag in the 90's? It looks as if i could put one in my truck, ford left room and there are 2 threaded holes behind the steering wheel cover.

thanks

I believe airbags were made mandatory in 95. Ford did put airbags in passenger vehicles before then, but not in trucks until 95. I imagine, if you had all the components needed for the airbag system, you could retofit one in. Ford would have had to design in the "space" for the airbag system early on knowing that it would be made mandatory in 95.

that's funny, i've always called it a canopy too. I assume you're talking about the truck cap or topper as people out east and elsewhere seem to call it.

Air bags weren't mandatory in trucks until '98 at the earliest.

I'm not sure what years but I know they were different years between 1/2 and later on the 1 tons were mandatory. I never heard of anybody wanting to put one in.

I'm thinking it would be a pain. But I always say with enough time and money anythings possible.
