Why all this speculation when you can simply LOOK at the door jamb sticker?

I've never heard of that, but that does not mean it's not true.

When I bought a Gibson Cat Back exhaust for it back in 2001 the guy behind the counter said, "you know the Gibson exits behind the rear tire?"

I said, "Yes, that's where it exits now". He said, "Oh, there is a foot note in the catalog mentioning it is all."

He asked all the vitals for the truck, year, engine, cab, drive, etc..

I know the 5.4's got the 9.75" rear end and the others got the 8.8" rear end...

You can paint it with Krylon or dye it with Showroom New.

Yup they're right. F250 ones have the reverse light at the top, that's the easiest way to tell the difference. But F250 lights fit too, with a few minor changes.
