97 f250 4x4 heavy duty
 
i just bought a 97 f250 ex cab long box 4x4 heavy duty with the 7.5l does it have air bags? drivers or passanger side? i have my little girl and would like to know if i have to put her in the back! if it does can you shut them off? also the horn doesnt work, can i pull the steering wheel cover off? or is there an air bag in there?

driver side air bag only and the air bag is under the wheel cover but you can still pull it off

NO. NO AIR BAGS. F250 and larger did not get air bags till 99

MY 97 250, and my 95 350, both have the air bag light, but no air bags the light never comes on.

The airbag steering wheel looks pretty different from the non airbag wheel with a larger squarer center pad. My 94 and 95 F150s had the driver's side airbag, my nephew's 97 F250 HD (old style) and 92 F150 had the same non airbag steering wheel. Passenger side airbags were only offered on the newer body styles. Do be careful about using the back seat with kids and the back glass. My Grandson loves the fact that he can ride in the front of my truck.
Please be careful and follow all safety instructions before removing the airbag pad.

YOU HAVE NO AIR BAGS IN YOUR TRUCK. Only half tons had them up untill 99, then the F250 and larger got them too

Easy job with the 2 "removal tools" for the 4 small holes, 1 in each corner of the stereo.
