Ford F-Series - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wikipedia shows 80-81 F-Series having a "Custom" trim level. Ironically it seems like it was the base model.

very interesting. Thanks for the info. Only thing is that the emblems looked totally different between 1980, 1981 (Gen 8) and 1992 - 1996 (Gen 9); and these are definitely Gen 9 emblems.

all the "custom" emblem was placed on trucks for was when the original purchaser of the truck wanted certain extras, that say may be on an "XLT" trim, but doesnt want everything with that trim. They could pick and choose, and as such, it was considered a base model. My 92 F150 is a "Custom" model with the shortbed option and auxiliary tank option, as well as AC. My friends 92 F150 "Custom" is a longbed with no AC, but they are both badged with the same F150 Custom Emblem, same as the earlier 80s trucks.

Pretty sure the emblem is used from 92-96
It is used on the base model and fleet trucks.

I know that the 1992 and the 1993 F150's had the option, but I am not sure if they cancelled it out in 1994 or not, I believe they went up to 1996 though, but i'm not sure

All the base model F150s I have seen had the Custom or XL on it. I have seen some really stripped down XLs.

1992 was indeed the last year for the Custom XL....The Custom was dropped, and in 1993, the XL edition was simply an XL edition....
Same as, IIRC, 1991 was the last year for the Lariat edition XLT's....1992-1996 edition XLT's were simply listed as XLT....Save for the Eddie Bauer, Mark III, etc trucks....
They were still just and XLT, just with extra decals, features (Cloth seats, woodgrain interior pieces, etc)....The Mark III trucks actually had a window motor for the rear sliding window....

yeah I know, I have an eddie bauer edition F150 and have never understood why they decided to go with the plain boring emblem when the Bronco had the eddie bauer moniker below it. Essentially the same truck, just why not the same style emblem. I hate my boring emblem, so I'm going with the custom one, which in turn will be customized or rather modernized also.
