Welcome aboard, Dogwater. There is a wealth of information here on FTE. You might do some searching in the 1997 - 2003 forum which is just above this one in the forums listing.
Also, you may consider going over to the
National Harley Truck Owners Club forum, and posting over there. In this case, it is pretty active on the F150 side...which should work in your favor.
Good luck!!
