My 83 is pretty much loaded up like yours. I have 2WD, a 300, and standard wheels though, but mine is a Supercab, long bed, and is XLT trim. Mine cost $12,600 new. I'd say none of our options are rare, not that that matters, but having so many is pretty unusual. I'd say the rarest option that neither of us have is the underhood tool box.

Hmmm do I have a rare option...I think I might. In the 70's and 80's Ford was fairly flexible in their manufacturing. If a vehicle was ordered as a special (such as Ford Executive Car, Dealership Owner Car...etc) you could order special paint colors/interiors and possibly "odd" options.
My pickup was one of these. My father was a salesman and probably one of the owner's best friends. The owner ordered my 81 F150 2wd Flairside with a car only color: Bright Bittersweet. It was never available on pickups, just Mustangs/Escorts/EXP's. The coding on the door is correct for the color...so I possibly have the only factory Bright Bittersweet pickup built by Ford in 81 (or many years). It doesn't look like much now after 25 years, but I plan a repaint soon.
Other than that, it is loaded like all executive cars...AC/Tilt/XLT/Chrome Package/Towing package (4 row radiator)/AOD/Premium Sound/PDL/PW/Slider/guage package (Tach)/Light Group (map lights,glove box/ash tray and cargo)/302...just a very nice pickup.
