All of the XLT options like power windows, mirrors, locks.. that sorta thing. Maybe you can get lucky and find one with a valance that you like better than yours or something..maybe even a set of decent head lights.. who knows? You just gotta compare and contrast really.

usually most parts from any 97-03 F150 and also some parts from expeditions should work.

You can also search yards online @ car-part.com. Type in your zip and the site searches from your area outward.

You can do a lot to an XL to make it nicer for not a lot of money. Check out my Low-Buck Mods album for a few ideas ...

I want one, but I just got to see a pic of an XL with a tach cluster and/or talk to someone who's actually done it before I spend the money on the cluster (I hear rumors it can be done, but I've never heard anyone say they've done it ...).
