Why is my 97 f150 different than others
I drive a 97 flarside ford f150 4.2. This is the og model of the 97 f150 manufactured before july or whenever it was they decided to change things such as the header panel. The header panel makes sense and ive seen 97s with them in the scrapyard but my 97 has a few miscellaneous unique qualities. Does anyone else have this setup but with the exhaust out the passenger side like a lightning, door panel with the speaker directly above the window crank, and the bench seat with fold down levers coming out the back and a sideways tear drop plastic cover on both sides? Anyone know if not lightning 97 f-150s every came with the exhaust out the side stock? ill try and post pictures asap.

I had a 97 F150 XLT with the 5.4, 4x4 and E4OD trans years ago, but it was a later model build and actually had the stock single exhaust exiting behind the pass rear tire.
The early 97's did have the single exhaust exit in front of the pass side tire... But, Ford changed that after mid year or so and 98 on except for the Lighting's of course.
The Lighting's had their exhaust exit before the pass side rear tire, but it was not the same as those early 97's obviously..
Dunno about your speaker setup.. I think it had the 4 speaker setup but I didn't have the bench seat..
Here was my old 97.. Wish I still owned it!!

Dunno about your speaker setup or the bench seat, because I had neither in my 97..
