I will be going down to get my new 1999 F150 next week (can't wait) and was turned on to this site by another ford enthusiast. After reading abit I didn't realize Iam going to need to invest in some metric tools. Is everything metric on the F150? Thanks for any info.

 

As far as I know most fasteners on most cars and trucks have been metric since about 1985 or so. That is a guess at the years. I doubt you will find standard sizes on anything after 1990 but I have been wrong before. I worked with a mechanic one summer and hardley EVER had to get the standard sockets for anything built late 80s to present.

 

Thanks for the reply I've been out of the loop on new trucks/cars for awhile been driving my 86 F250 diesel for the past 10 years.
Diffenitly will be quite the change.
