Umm....These trucks are really not very safe in an accident. Look up the ratings. They're pretty poor.
There are OBS F150's that have airbags. 96-97??? I dunno. Lotsa retro work to get them fully operational.

The threaded holes are gor removing your steering wheel. The main reson these trucks are so safe is due to there wiegth if a paassander car hits another car it stops real quick cas=using all kinda injuries if a f350 crew cab long bed hits a car it doesnt stop very quickly. Or at all if you keep on the accelerator!
Yes, that is usually why I feel pretty safe driving my truck even without the modern safety systems. The weight difference between two cars colliding makes a HUGE difference in who gets hurt and who doesn't. If you hit a wall or another vehicle of the same weight or greater, chances are, even an airbag isn't going to help you. I've watched IIHS crash tests for the later model f-series trucks (more representative of actual crashes than NHTSA testing) and well, its not a pretty sight.
But, like it was said earlier, that's the risk we choose to take by driving these vehicles.
