Mine is a 99 ext cab short bed with the 25 gal tank. Did Ford offer the 30 gal tank in 97 or did you add it? Yours is a V-8 though, right??!! Mine is the V-6 and all they offered in 99 was the 25 gal. Yea if mine quite for good today it has been the best one I have ever had. I have had Rangers, Big Bronco's and little Bronco's and the F-150's all my life. I'm 41yo and the only car I've ever had was a 67 Fairlane. It was my first ride. DAMN I wish I still had it. It came with a 289, 3 speed on the column and I lucked out and found a 66 cross bolt side oiler 427 and stuffed in it and MAN MAN what a ride it was. It's a wonder I ain't dead.
