Cabin Air Filter

Does a 95 F150 have a cabin air filter or a filter in the air conditioning system and if so where is it located.

No.. and the closest thing you're going to get for a 'filter' for the a/c system is going to be the receiver/drier.

I have recently completely disassembled my entire air box on the firewall, and I can confirm there is no stock cabin filter.

With that said, it looks like there's the possibility that one could be fitted by pulling the fan (just a few screws that are easy to access) and putting in filter material between the fan area and the evaporator.

A good filter material could be the stuff they sell for paint booths - basically a square of fiber that's covered in beeswax. Really, though, just about anything that will fit and mostly seal will work.

I was going to try something like that but was told the fan would overheat or something like that. It was a few years ago so I don't remember exactly what was supposed to happen but anyway, I never attempted it.

Nothing will happen unless the filter is too restrictive, in which case airflow will slow. The ducting is not pressurized or interference fit, and the fan motor is in the engine bay 14" from the exhaust manifold, so I'm going to surmise that the fan will be fine.

Your probably right. In any case, the effort vs benefit just wasn't there for me. Where I work I'm in a cloud of rock dust and coal dust for 6-10 hrs a day so a little more on the way home isn't going to hurt
