According to a workshop manual page I saved, for an '04, the minimum thickness is as follows:

Front - 1.417 in
Rear - 1.102 in

hope this helps

Here is the info for '02 which is not all that different then what Jason already posted...



Minimum thickness to machine front brake disc = 36.6 mm (1.44 inch)

Front brake disc minimum thickness = 36.0 mm (1.41 inch)

Minimum thickness to machine rear brake disc (F-250 and F-350) = 28.6 mm (1.12 inch)

Rear brake disc minimum thickness (F-250 and F-350) = 28.0 mm (1.10 inch)
