Comment on your Older F-150?

I was just curious if those of you with the early F-150 styles (97-03) often have people comment on your truck looking nice. I thought it was kind of odd but I've been receiving a lot of comments on how nice my truck is/looks. Its funny because my friend can be driving along with me in his 08' Blue step-side with exhaust and a cover/bullbar headlights ect and I'll be the one to get the "Thats a nice truck man". I've gotten it from mechanics at the local Chevron station, friends, and I even had this random lady teaching her daughter to ride a tricycle throw a comment when I got out of my truck.

I personally love the hell out of the way my truck looks, I'm just surprised to see how many other people showing any interest in a 14 year old truck

Well, the fact that it was the best looking F150 body style for a good number of years probably has a lot to do with it. I know that the trucks earlier than 97 didn't look as good and those since then are/were, IMHO, butt ugly until the 2011 showed up. The 2011 looks better though still not quite as nice as the 97-03 body. Again, IMHO.

People always compliment my truck. Even diehard chevy drivers. Now that I rarely drive it since I got a work truck I'll have my 01 a lot more years I have a feeling, but its a damn fine lookin truck.

It's mutual.
I compliment my truck everytime I see it....



...and I hear the horn blow everytime I walk past a mirror.

Good thread. I do get compliments on my truck at times. Mostly it's "what year is that" and questions about the lift. People are usually most surprised when they find out how old it is. I do have to say that she cleans up nice and is in great shape. Most conversations seem to occur at the gas stations. I'll get the, "hey nice truck man" and the occasional "glad I don't have to fill that thing up"
